Arrest warrant issued for Vaccaro

An arrest warrant has been issued for Longhorn freshman defensive back Kenny Vaccaro for misdemeanor assault, following an alleged fight he had with a UT student during a pick-up basketball game.

According to an arrest affidavit, Vaccaro and Jonathon Fuhrman were involved in a fight, Sept. 20, when both were playing basketball at Gregory Gym.

Fuhrman, who is identified as a UT student, told police Vaccaro and his friends were throwing basketballs at him. The affidavit said Fuhrman threw a basketball back at Vaccaro, hitting him in the head.

Fuhrman said Vaccaro then punched him in the face. The affidavit stated that Fuhrman, when he was interviewed by police, had blood coming from a cut lip.

Vaccaro told police that Fuhrman “was always on the court trying to start a fight.” Vaccaro said he threw a punch after the ball Fuhrman threw hit him in the ear.

Fuhrman told police there were witnesses, but said that none would come forward “because they are scared of football players.”

Texas coach Mack Brown could not immediately be reached for comment.

Vaccaro has made nine tackles for the Longhorns as a special teams player and in the secondary.

The charge is a Class A misdemeanor.

Did the ball hit him in the head or the ear?

My question is what was a football player doing playing basketball in the first place?
I remember back in high school if our football or baseball coaches saw us even shooting baskets in the gym or looking close to what was engaging in a basketball game during the season then they were all over us.
I seem to recall a video a few years ago from some school in which a football player got in trouble for knocking out another student in the rec center during a pick up basketball game. ANybody else remember that?

Good question, even better question for a player who had a reconstructed his ACL a year ago.

Did not see the video.

UT has a bunch of festivites that the football players take part in. This obviously isn't one... but alot of the dorms put together dodgeball tournaments and kickball tournaments that most of the football players take part in. He probably wasn't the only football player there. Alot of the players played B-ball in high school and thats what they like to do on their down time.

When I read the article I thought of Austin Powers. "Who throws a show. Honestly."

Besides, fights happen at Gregory all the time. No need to call the cops. Rinse off and go home.
