'Coach Joseph is tough but fair.'īanks added that Joseph has 'received countless messages from former and current players, parents, and staff expressing their love, admiration, and respect. 'That allegation is false and was expressly refuted by officials close to the team and outside experts,' the attorney said. Lisa Banks, Joseph's attorney, disputed the report.
