Mike Woodbury has no regrets after a video of him berating a basketball player went viral, he said in an interview with Stadium.

Woodbury, the CEO of Florida private school Nation Christian Academy, was caught in what appears to be a secretly recorded video. There's no actual footage of the meeting, but the audio was picked up and you can clearly hear what he's telling the player.

WARNING: Explicit language in video below

In the audio, Woodbury is heard speaking to senior Marvens Petion, who was intending to transfer. He has since transferred to West Oaks Academy, a nationally ranked school. The start of the transcript has Woodbury using multiple curse words at Petion, saying he'll send him "back to Haiti."

Petion came to the United States from Haiti when he was 15 years old.

Woodbury: What is this conversation about? Petion: I don't know, you tell me. Woodbury: Me disrespecting you fake f—er? Just get out of my face. Just take your broke asses, I'll say it again, your broke asses back to the garage. I don’t want to hear s— from you. Bottom line. The next thing I hear from you ... just get the f— out. Just walk the f— out. I don’t give a s—. I control transcripts. I control where you go next. It could be back to Haiti, mother f—er. That’s how easy it is for me." You don’t ... I’m the one thing you don’t wanna cross, cause I’m the dirtiest, baddest mother f—er on this earth. Like cause, you don’t want to ... First of all, you can’t get to my level. You can’t. You can’t. It’s like I said when I came out and you tried to f—ing ... You tried to get out and say coach Liz, and say you're gonna f—ing, 'I'm gonna show you this,' and what did I tell you? I'm going to send your little ...

The two go back and forth exchanging words, with Woodbury telling Petion to shut up while calling him a "stupid ass" and "f— face."

In an interview with Stadium on Wednesday, Woodbury confirmed it's his voice captured in the audio, but said he doesn't regret his actions.

“No. F—, no,” Woodbury told Stadium after being asked if he had any regrets about the interaction. “Yes and no. I regret the fact I tried to be a father figure. It hurts my heart.”

Woodbury explained the reasons why he was so upset, alleging that Petion brought alcohol into the player’s room, had incidents of theft and attempted to extort school leadership. The "final straw," according to Woodbury, is when Petion started skipping school.

Petion denied all of those allegations to Stadium, and said he only missed one day of school.

Been getting tons of texts/calls from college coaches about this prep school CEO, Mike “Woody” Woodbury. Pretty much every one saying the same thing:

The video was uploaded to YouTube on Oct. 30, but Petion says the recording took place about two weeks ago. He transferred from the school two days after that meeting took place.

In addition to the interview with Stadium, Woodbury released a statement on the incident.

I wasn’t going to say anything in regards to the audio clip that is circulating, however, I feel a statement is necessary. pic.twitter.com/iyi6sc2Ccr — Nation Basketball (@TheNationBB) October 31, 2018

The Twitter account has since gone private.

Some important takeaways from Woodbury's statement:

He apologized for his language

He does not coach the team

He denies changing Petion's GPA

He says four other students and one coach were also present in the meeting

The conversation lasted 35 minutes, but the video shows 3 minutes

The Haiti comment was "not a threat"

While this is the first time Woodbury has been publicly shamed for his comments, former players of his say it's not the first time he's used vulgar language towards them. The Press Herald spoke to players who were coached by Woodbury and shared similar stories.

"He several times referred to us as sperm banks. Yep, when we were 15,” Emily Rousseau who played under Woodbury on the Maine Elite team said. "If he wanted us to go into a game he would pull our ponytail and drag us to the scorer’s table. We had an African-American girl on our team and he said if she didn’t start playing better there would be a hate crime."

Played AAU basketball for this man in high school... Everyone always knew he was insane😂 This is how you run your “Christian Acadamy”? @TheNationBB https://t.co/Fz5EBragwz — Isaiah Harris (@Zay_800) October 31, 2018

After hearing the recording of Woodbury, one of the students at Nation Christian announced his decision to leave the program, via Twitter.

In addition, Idrissa Bivens told Stadium he is also leaving the school in the wake of the video.

Woodbury remains with the school.
