Scott is running a Division I-quality program at the Division II level.
ETTRICK, Virginia — We live in an imperfect world. People make mistakes.
What they do after the mistake is important.
Latrell Scott made a mistake while he was the football coach at the University of Richmond and resigned.
At Virginia State University, Scott has been given a second chance. He’s making the most of it.
The Trojans, picked to finish 10th in the 12-team CIAA, are 7-1, 5-0 in the conference and in first place in the league’s Northern Division.
On Aug. 23, 2011, a driving under the influence charge, his second since 2004, changed his life.
Scott immediately resigned as Richmond’s coach. In that November, he was found guilty of driving while intoxicated and sentenced to 10 days in jail.
Even before the trial, Scott had begun work to change his life. He went to counseling, choosing group sessions over individual meetings.
