A father says his son was verbally abused by the Pace University football head coach.
So far, three former players accuse Andy Rondeau of screaming at players, sending insulting emails and in one instance, using a crutch to pin a player against the wall.
According to father Dennis Fiore, Rondeau verbally abused his 19-year- old son, Michael.
Fiore says his son was kicked off the team after he didn't make Rondeau's new strike out plan.
"My kid was down, he was lost," he says. And then he says he was out after falling ill during a practice one day in March.
"According to my son, he was nose to nose in the face where spit was hitting his face," he says.
Fiore hasn't decided if he's going to take legal action at this time. His son is still playing football, but he is now at Concordia University in Montreal.
