I did not say or implied he did. He did the same thing during a college football game when he tripped a runner heading for a TD IN A COLLAGE GAME -18 0r 19 yo player.
No that is incorrect. Hayes punched a player on the opposing team that had just intercepted a pass to seal Ohio State losing the game and he lost his temper.
At any rate, woody Hayes punched what was basically a grown man, not a child.
Big difference.
