The entire coaching staff of the 2011 Tustin Red Cobras Junior Pee Wee football team was suspended for one year on Friday after an investigation into a reported bounty program involving young players.
The monthlong investigation by National Pop Warner concluded that though one payment "may have" been made to a player, there was no evidence of a broader bounty program. Head coach,
Darren Crawford, and president, Pat Galentine, of Tustin Pop Warner, were suspended last month after allegations surfaced that they paid 10- and 11-year-old players to intentionally injure opponents.
