Former Chicago State coach Benjy Taylor
Was arrested on the court following a game at Morehouse, while trying to get security to keep non players out of the handshake line following his Tuskegee squads game.

I’m sure more will come out about this strange event.

Benjy last coached at Chicago State in 2010. In 2009 he lead the Cougars to their last winning season, a 19-13 campaign. The Cougars finished with the 2nd best winning percents among the 10 independent teams that season.

Of course, he inherited David Holston, Chicago States best player ever, so that made his job a whole lot easier lol. Holston averaged 25.9 points, 6.4 assists, and over 3 steals per game in 08-09. He only fouled twice per game on average in his 35 minutes on the floor. Just an amazing combination of a great scorer, tough defender, and overall smart player. Few teams had any success stopping him. The only game he fouled out of as a Senior in 09 was a 4 OT game versus Utah Valley where he put up 41 points before being sidelined.

Of course, I am, getting sidelined. I need to do a whole post/thread, just to honor David Holston sometime.

The Cougars were 3rd in the nation in scoring that season, and put up over 90 points 12 times, and over 100 5 times. They were 10-2 versus Independents that season.

In 2010, he lead the Cougars in their first season in the Great West conference. I was able to meet him while working the Great West tournament that year.

After CSU he also coached Hawaii and was named mid major coach of the year. He was an assistant at Bakersfield during their WAC Conference championship as well.

He played at Richmond during several highly successful NCAA tournament runs in the 1980’s and is a well respected coach. Not sure what this “policeman” thought he was doing, but it makes Morehouse look like idiots IMO.
