Guest: Gregory R. Williams GRW Law - What Happened When Tuskegee Coach Benjy Taylor Was Handcuffed?

from The Best of the Sports Shop

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex speak with lawyer Gregory Reynald Williams. GRW Law discusses the legal options being considered, the role of law enforcement in the incident, and whether Tuskegee coach Benjy Taylor’s civil rights were violated during the postgame confrontation. The controversy surrounding the Tuskegee–Morehouse men’s basketball game stems from a postgame incident on January 31, 2026, in Atlanta. After Tuskegee lost 77-69, head coach Benjy Taylor raised concerns during the handshake line when a group of Morehouse football players entered the court, which Tuskegee officials say violated SIAC security protocols. Taylor requested that security and law enforcement remove the non-participants, but instead, video shows Taylor being handcuffed by police and escorted off the court, despite not being charged with any crime. The footage quickly went viral, prompting widespread backlash and debate over the handling of the situation. Taylor has since retained multiple civil rights attorneys, including Gregory Reynald Williams, who say they are evaluating potential legal action, arguing he was humiliated and detained while acting to protect his players.
