According to a Coral Gables police report, Gulliver Prep School baseball coach Lazer Collazo dropped his pants, took out his penis, pointed at it and his testicles, and asked the team if they "had a set of these or were they equipped with a vagina."
The alleged incident happened in a locker room after the team lost to Florida Christian on April 7. <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 align=right border=0><TBODY><TR><TD></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Local 10 caught up with Collazo at the Hardball Baseball Training Center to ask him for a comment.
Collazo responded, "I don't think there is much more to say … Everybody knows what happened and that's all I have to say. I have no more comments on it."
At Gulliver Thursday, parents and students didn't want to make a public comment about the incident, saying they feared retaliation.
Local 10's call to Gulliver's director was not returned. However, the school has publicly acknowledged that the incident did take place. Collazo's resignation was effective Wednesday.
As a winning assistant coach at the University of Miami, Collazo was considered a catch for the prestigious private high school. In his first year of coaching, Gulliver won the state championship. <!--stopindex-->
