Former UF assistant Mike Locksley talks about fight with New Mexico assistant coach
Curious about exactly what happened during that alleged fight between former Florida assistant coach, now New Mexico head coach, Mike Locksley and one of his assistants?
ESPN's Outside the Lines will try to get to the bottom of it.
Outside the Lines has exclusive interviews with Locksley and assistant coach, J.B. Gerald, whom Locksley is accused of punching on Sept. 20. Locksley received a 10-day suspension, causing him to miss the team's Oct. 24 game against UNLV.
Gerald, who filed a police report charging that Locksley assaulted him, says he was choked and punched in the mouth a day after a loss. Gerald told Outside the Lines: "He gets up and is walking over toward me. I'm looking at him like, 'What's this guy about to do?' He literally jumps in my lap and tries to choke me. He has his hands around my neck and around my collar and tries to choke me."
Locksley denies the allegation. "I grabbed J.B. Gerald, which is wrong, shouldn’t have done (that),'' Locksley said. "The fight was broken up within a matter of seconds,"
The show will air today at 3 p.m. on ESPN.
