Morehead State?basketball coach Sean Woods allegedly head-butted one of his players last year, the father of the athlete told ESPN on Wednesday.Edson Maitland, the father of Malik Maitland, said his son told him Woods head-butted him late last season but quickly apologized, asked for forgiveness and promised it would never happen again. He said his son told him he reported the incident to the teams trainer.Edson Maitland is now asking Morehead State to terminate Woods, who is suspended indefinitely with pay after he was charged Tuesday with misdemeanor battery for allegedly assaulting Malik Maitland and Soufiyane Diakite last month.We are very, extremely disappointed in coach Woods, Edson Maitland told ESPN, as he read from a prepared statement on behalf of his family. He came into our home and violated our trust, the trust that we put in him as a coach. Not only did we ask him to coach our son, but to treat our son just as he would treat his own son. He was reckless with willful intention in his action toward my son, inflicting such a pain on him.This is not the first time he violated our trust because last year, during the season, he head-butted my son and turned around and asked him to forgive him, and he apologized, and my son accepted his apology, and [he] said he would never do it again. And as for the school, Im still waiting for a response from them and to take corrective action and appropriate action without any form of a delay, saying theyre still investigating. And as for all the assistants that are there working, Im appalled, because they are an extension of Coach Woods, and I think the NCAA should step in and take appropriate action.Woods was charged with misdemeanor battery, according to court documents obtained by WTVQ, after he allegedly backhanded Malik Maitland in his chest at halftime of a Nov. 19 matchup at Evansville and shoved Diakite during and after the game. Edson Maitland said his son told him about the alleged assault after the matchup.Woods, who played with The Unforgettables Kentucky squad that reached the Elite Eight in 1992, was suspended three days after the game at Evansville.Evansville Sgt. Patrick McDonald said misdemeanor battery in Indiana is defined as any alleged assault that results in a complaint of pain from an alleged victim. It does not mean anyone was injured, he said.In 2012, in his first season with Moreheads program, Woods was suspended for shoving former player Devon Atkinson during a game.Edson Maitland said he wants Woods terminated and legally punished for his actions.I not only want him gone, I want him prosecuted to the full length of the law, he said.When asked for a response to Tuesdays charges, Morehead State spokesman Nick Evans referred to the statement the school distributed after it suspended Woods last month.Resulting from complaints received, the institution has begun an investigation involving the head basketball coach, athletic director Brian Hutchinson said in the statement. While we continue through the formal process, we believe it is prudent to suspend the coach until the investigation is finished.On Wednesday morning, Morehead State said in a statement that the administrative review process is nearing completion.

Carson Wentz soared in his NFL debut with the Philadelphia Eagles.Now, the strong-armed rookie quarterback will have an opportunity to showcase his skills under the lights. Wentz will play his first prime-time game as the Eagles (1-0) visit the Chicago Bears (0-1) on Monday night.The past week has been a whirlwind for Wentz, whom the Eagles selected with No. 2 overall pick in this years draft out of North Dakota State. He passed for 278 yards and two touchdowns to lead his team to a 29-10 win against the Cleveland Browns in the season opener. His jersey shot to No. 1 in NFL online sales.Vice President Joe Biden encouraged President Barack Obama to get on the Wentz wagon. Instead, Obama -- an ardent Bears fan -- joked that he would visit Philadelphia and scout out what all of the fuss is about.Bears coach John Fox and his defensive assistants have done some scouting of their own.Chicago is looking to bounce back from a 23-14 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 1. The Bears led 14-10 at halftime but were outscored 13-0 in the second half as their offense failed to gain traction.Quarterback Jay Cutler could use better protection in the pocket after he was sacked five times in the opener. He also spent time this week reiterating his confidence in wide receiver Kevin White, the Bears first-round pick in 2015 who missed his entire rookie season because of a stress fracture. White made his NFL debut last week but caught only three passes for 34 yards despite being targeted seven times.We need him, Cutler said. Hes going to be fine. Were not worried about him. We like our group of receivers out there. ... Im going to play better. As a whole, offensively, were going to play better.If White advances as Cutler hopes, he could create a dangerous tandem alongside wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. That will create pressure on the Eagles secondary, which faces questions after cornerback Leodis McKelvin sustained a strained left hamstring in Week 1 and is out for Monday night.Philadelphia coach Doug Pederson described McKelvins status as week-to-week, which does not bode well for Monday. The Eagles traded cornerback Eric Rowe to the New England Patriots before the season opener, which means Nolan Carrroll, Ron Brooks and rookie Jalen Mills might need to anchor a thin cornerback group.ddddddddddddMcKelvin is not the Eagles only injured starter. Tight end Zach Ertz sustained a displaced rib near his left shoulder in Week 1 and also has been ruled out against the Bears.Its a dangerous situation with a displaced bone, Pederson said. You are talking up around the neck and head area, so any type of blow again could do further damage to that. Thats why its a week-to-week deal to see how it heals and recovers.In Ertzs absence, veteran Brent Celek is expected to step forward as the teams top option at tight end.The Bears know they must improve on defense after allowing Houston to convert 12 of 20 third-down opportunities one week ago. Linebacker Danny Trevathan will make his home debut as a Bear after signing as a free agent during the spring. Another new face on the lakefront will be rookie pass rusher Leonard Floyd, who was credited with six tackles and registered a half-sack along with Eddie Goldman in his NFL debut.Look for Fox and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio to try to pressure Wentz in front of a hostile environment.Wentz, however, will have plenty of support in the huddle as he braces for the Bears. The 23-year-old already has the backing of his teammates, including wide receiver Jordan Matthews, who is thrilled with the chance to develop continuity with his quarterback after several years of uncertainty at the position.Its a different thing when that guys your brother and when hes your quarterback, Matthews said. When hes your quarterback, its like, Im just doing my job. When hes your brother, its like, Ive got to get these 12 yards because I want him to be able to trust that Im going to be where I need to be so that we can get out here and win football games. ... And I want him to be just as successful as me, if not more.When you start having that relationship, when you want to give up of yourself for somebody else, the games, they just happen. It becomes fun. It becomes something everybody loves to enjoy. Like I said, Carson has that attitude. ' ' '
