HDad pulls gun on coach over son's playing time
PHILADELPHIA -- A father pulled a gun on a youth football coach because his son wasn't getting enough playing time, police said.
Wayne Derkotch, 40, was arguing with the coach Sunday during a game of 6- and 7-year-olds when he drew the weapon, police said. No shots were fired.
Derkotch was charged with aggravated assault and other offenses. He did not immediately return a call to his home Monday.
A referee accused of throwing a punch at a man was also arrested on assault charges, police said.
