CONROE, Texas -- A Conroe school district coach is on leave while officials investigate claims that he forced a student athlete to defecate into a bag and urinate into a cup, KPRC Local 2 reported.

The student said it happened during a bus ride back from a sporting event.

Students and parents said they are disturbed about the allegations against coach Joseph Rodriguez but are divided about what action should be taken.

"It's kind of gross and unexpected, but at the same time, to me, it's not a big deal. It's an emergency. I mean, it's only humane to let a child go to the bathroom," said Barron Fredericks, a Conroe ISD student.

The school district would not comment on the investigation.
