A coach of an East Cobb high school’s girl’s basketball team has been relieved of duty after allegations of hazing arose against him.

Kell High School Coach Craig Hines allegedly permitted or aided in the bullying or intimidation of some of his players as part of hazing rituals, WSB-TV said. An assistant coach with the program has also been accused of the same actions. A parent of one of the Longhorns players alerted officials when she became aware of the situation with the team.

School district officials told WSB-TV that they were taking disciplinary action against Hines, but had not indicated whether or not he would be allowed to keep his teaching job at the school.
