Two new pictures show the men wanted from harassing a youth basketball coach in Huntington Station.
Cellphone video also shows the incident, which happened Sunday night at Next Level Sports Center on Railroad Street.
The coach, Theo Czubakowski, says he benched a player and then the mom of that player started getting angry. He says two of her family members then surrounded and punched him.
Czubakowski was taken to the hospital for treatment. He says he suffered a concussion.
He wants the two men arrested. Czubakowski also wants to send a message saying, "I also want to bring attention to the violence in youth basketball right now. There's a lot of arguments that happen in the stands. A lot of pushing and shoving amongst parents and it's unnecessary."
Anyone with information on the incidents is asked to call Suffolk Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS.
