Grundy County High School basketball coach Jerry Brown resigned his position as head boys’ coach late last week following an incident that caused him to be suspended.
In a statement from the school system:
On July 28, 2016, Jerry Wayne Brown, Jr. the basketball coach at Grundy County High School, left five students unattended following the conclusion of a basketball camp. While these students were unmonitored, one of them was injured. Even though Brown had told the parents that camp ended around noon and that he would not be providing supervision after that time, Grundy County Schools expects its teachers to take reasonable steps to ensure the safety and wellbeing of its students.
Brown chose to resign his employment with Grundy County Schools to pursue other opportunities.
Brown was an assistant boy’s basketball coach at Coffee County a few years ago.
