Basketball coach fired after players threw tortillas at Latino rivals

A high school has fired its head basketball coach after some of his players hurled tortillas at their largely Latino rivals.

Footage of the confrontation has been widely shared on social media, showing at least two students from Coronado High School throwing the Mexican flatbreads towards the Orange Glen High School team.

The latter’s pupils are predominantly from Hispanic backgrounds, prompting accusations of racism and bigotry by members of the other squad.
