EAGLEVILLE, Tenn. – A longtime Tennessee high school baseball coach is being stripped of his coaching duties and sent to another school over a video of him rubbing a female student's back.
News outlets report Eagleville High coach and history teacher Travis Holland is being transferred to Holloway High School in Murfreesboro.
Holland was accused of conduct unbecoming of a teacher and suspended without pay for 10 days after the video showed him rubbing the student's back and embracing her in what appears to be a side hug. The student's parents defended him, saying he was consoling her over a death in her family, and law enforcement declined to investigate after reviewing the video.
But Rutherford County Schools spokesman James Evans says a district investigation found Holland acted inappropriately.
