Bates appeared to stick out his elbow and bump Brown senior midfielder John Yozzo-Scaperrotta of Dobbs Ferry as Yozzo-Scaperrotta jogged back to the sideline after Yozzo-Scaperrotta collided with a Princeton player following the opening faceoff of the third quarter of Brown's 19-8 win.
Bates is a 1986 graduate of John Jay High School in Cross River who has been Princeton's head coach the last seven years after a 10-year tenure at Drexel University.
Yozzo-Scaperrotta, a three-sport standout at Dobbs Ferry, was a two-year captain of the Eagles' varsity lacrosse team.
Yozzo-Scaperrotta appeared to yell at Bates following the incident, a videotape of which may be viewed here.
