Ex-coach seen on video pulling hair of player due in court next month

The former Northville High School girls’ basketball coach seen on video yanking the hair of a player last Friday is scheduled in Troy City Court on April 9.

Jim Zullo is due to answer a second-degree harassment violation.

Zullo was seen pulling the hair of a player, after the team lost to La Fargeville in the Class D state championship game at Hudson Valley Community College.

Zullo had planned to retire after the season and has since been fired.

He had apologized for his behavior, saying “under no circumstances is it acceptable to put my hands on a player.”
