HIGHLAND, Utah (AP) -- Two students and a football coach involved in a scuffle have returned to Lone Peak High School after a two-day suspension.

School officials say the students were fighting when coach Monte Morgan intervened. They say when one of the boys became belligerent, Morgan restrained him.

A video posted Tuesday on YouTube shows what appears to be Morgan placing a boy a headlock and telling him to shut up.

Officials say Morgan will take a new job at the end of the school year, which he accepted before the incident.
