Andre Thaddies was the head football coach at Atlantic Community High School in Delray Beach, Florida.

It is now becoming public that police have arrested Thaddies and charged him with two misdemeanor counts of battery.

The allegations come from two different girls on the Atlantic High School track team.  One of the girls’ alleges that coach Thaddies ‘reached to grab her buttocks then gripped her wrist and called her “retarded.”’  While another girl alleges that he ‘bit her “on the back of her neck/shoulder,”’ according to the affidavit.

Thaddies was convicted of furnishing alcohol to a minor prior to his hiring at Atlantic High, and he was charged with domestic battery after an altercation with his wife last February.  The battery charges involving his wife were later dismissed.

Thaddies has been reassigned as a result of his arrest to an administrative position within the district.

Andre Thaddies is 40 years old.

Johnny Pride was for a short time in 2008, an athletic coach and a substitute campus supervisor at Canyon High School in Canyon Country, California.

It looks like they were fortunate that he was only there for a short time.

The police allege that Pride got two 14 year old girls drunk and raped them.  Around the 27th of last month, Pride bought the girls alcohol, then text-ed them inviting them to his place, where the worst of the crimes occurred.

Johnny Pride is 26 years old.
