A Virginia Beach high school coach was put on administrative leave with pay Monday following his arrest Friday on a charge of attempted simple assault and six charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

According to police, Coach William Brooks allegedly had several JV basketball team members administer corporal punishment to another player during school hours last week.

Police said the boy was playing on a team outside school and that led Coach Brooks to order the action.
