Sharp-eyed reader Kelly Terranova sent along this link to a story from the website of The (Bergen?) Record. It’s about a football coach who is arrested for purchasing crack with the assistance of a former student.
School district officials confirmed Thursday that Thomas Whiteley, 51, of Fair Lawn, a physical education teacher at School 14 and the defensive lineman coach at Eastside, had been suspended after refusing to submit to a drug test.
If we’re not mistaken, that description and photograph looks an awful lot like comedian Tom “The Coach” Whiteley.
Outfitted in Knute Rockne-era garb, Whiteley scores laugh after laugh with his carefully crafted monologues and high-adrenaline performance.
As Terranova says, “First Schimmel, now this!”
