PORTLAND, Me (WGAN) A Florida basketball coach with ties to Maine was caught on YouTube in an obscenity-laced tirade against a black player…threatening to send the student back to Haiti.

The Portland Press Herald says Mike Woodbury grew up in Waterville and spent many years coaching youth teams.

Former players of his in Maine say they are not surprised.

Woodbury often yelled and swore at his teams, referring to girls as nothing more than sperm banks.

Another athlete referred to Woodbury as “insane’.

He also reportedly encouraged another athlete in Maine to commit suicide because of poor play.

Woodbury is the CEO of the Nation Christian Academy in Port St. Lucie.

The school is not commenting…nor is Woodbury.
