But on (YouTube) he's the world's meanest, ugliest kid. It's not fair, but I just want him to know his teammates and coaches are behind him."

"His teammates and coaches are behind him," because they know what kind of a bully he is, and they don't want any payback from him if they were to criticize his actions. His actions in the video are deplorable! He stands flat-footed and doesn't even jump, in his feigned attempts to block the ball, because he really has no intention to do so -- he really intended to lay one on the ball-handler.
It's safer to be behind him, because being in front of him, especially with your back to him, is too good of a target. Watching him comment to his teammate after a couple of the incidents really exposes his attitude! The two of them must be a joy in the hallways!
