Mother of deceased player upset over report
July 02, 2009 2:38 PM


The mother of a Kentucky high school football player who died after collapsing at practice last year says a school system report doesn't provide any answers as to what happened to her son.



Michele Crockett told The Courier-Journal the Jefferson County Public School's report on 15-year-old Max Gilpin's death left her "furious, angry and hurt," and she disputed findings in the report that suggest her son had signs of illness before his collapse.

The report released Wednesday, concluded that David Jason Stinson, then-Pleasure Ridge Park head football coach, used inappropriate motivation techniques, but didn't violate any rules or regulations on Aug. 20, the day Gilpin collapsed. The sophomore died three days later.

Stinson has pleaded not guilty to reckless homicide in a rare case of a coach being criminally charged with an athlete's on-field death.
