SAN DIEGO (AP) — A youth football coach was arrested after a confrontation with a parent — apparently stemming from a dispute over recruitment of a top player — in which the parent was kicked and punched, then knocked unconscious when he tripped and hit the ground, police said. The coach, Saivaauli Savaiinea, was arrested Saturday afternoon on suspicion of felony battery, according to San Diego Police Officer David Stafford. Savaiinea, 32, reportedly attacked Mark Cannon during an argument at Abraham Lincoln High School.
