"I teach resiliency and abiding by the rules, but it's very tough especially when someone is doing the right thing and then for them to see their coach get treated the way that I got treated," he said. "It's a learning process in this whole situation. The cops didn't want to listen to even me as the adult, so we really need to do something about this, something really needs to take place."

Rochester police did not respond to a request for comment from BuzzFeed by the time of publication.

WHEC Rochester reports that police have received complaints in the past from the owner of the store where the teens were about people loitering and fighting in front of the store, and that's one of the reasons why police say they were monitoring that area.

The coach was also stung by a comment he says one of the officers made.

"As a matter of fact, one of the police officers actually told me if he had a big enough caravan he would take all of us downtown."
