On Wednesday afternoon, a New York high school head football coach called out a Connecticut high school assistant coach out, alleging player recruiting had taken place.

Below is the post in its entirety that Spagnolo posted on X regarding the recruiting allegation:
@CoachHallenbeck stop recruiting @ionafootball. We have a better program and would beat you by multiple TDs. Stay in your lane and find kids that need the opportunity. Not kids that already have offers/are being recruited. Does @BrunswickBruins & @coach_wayne55 approve of this?
According the screenshots released on social media by Spagnolo, the conversation is initiated by the Brunswick School assistant and reads as follows:
Brunswick School assistant coach: “Austin! Thanks for the follow man. Our Head Coach likes your film and we’d love to get you to one of our games at Brunswick. Would love for you to see a presentation about our school, our program, check out our athletic facilities and see us compete. We have 2 more home games left this season. 10/25 @ 3:00PM or 11/1 @ 5:00PM Brunswick is a very successful program, that has had major success placing players and the highest levels of football. It is also a phenomenal opportunity to compete against the best competition in the North East!“
Iona Prep player: “My HC said stop recruiting from programs that would beat you!“
Brunswick School assistant coach: “Just trying to help kids with the opportunity to play against the best competition around! The college placement speaks for itself. Best of luck with the rest of your season and your football career!“
