Maybe lid can explain what happen, or Mack Brown will say, "I got into a fight in a pick up game before".

Arrest warrant issued for Vaccaro

An arrest warrant has been issued for Longhorn freshman defensive back Kenny Vaccaro for misdemeanor assault, following an alleged fight he had with a UT student during a pick-up basketball game.
Vaccaro missed practice Tuesday to deal with the warrant.
Texas coach Mack Brown issued a statement after practice saying Vaccaro’s situation would be handled within the team.
“We’ve talked to Kenny and his family, and pending the completion of the legal process, will do what’s best for the University, Kenny and the team.”
According to an arrest affidavit provided to the American-Statesman, Vaccaro and Jonathon Fuhrman were involved in a fight, Sept. 20, when both were playing basketball at Gregory Gym.
Fuhrman, who is identified as a UT student, told police Vaccaro and his friends were throwing basketballs at him. The affidavit said Fuhrman threw a basketball back at Vaccaro, hitting him in the head.
Fuhrman said Vaccaro then punched him in the face. The affidavit stated that Fuhrman, when he was interviewed by police, had blood coming from a cut lip.
Vaccaro told police that Fuhrman “was always on the court trying to start a fight.” Vaccaro said he threw a punch after the ball Fuhrman threw hit him in the ear.
Fuhrman told police there were witnesses, but said that none would come forward “because they are scared of football players.”
Vaccaro has made nine tackles for the Longhorns as a special teams player and in the secondary.
The charge is a Class A misdemeanor.
