Marcus Freeman Allegations: Notre Dame Coach Accused of Battery No Charges Filed Against Him

Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman was involved in a police report filed by high school wrestling coach Chris Fleeger, who accused Freeman of battery during his son’s wrestling tournament on January 3. The St. Joseph County Prosecutor’s Office determined no criminal battery occurred and chose not to file charges, citing video evidence that contradicted Fleeger’s claims. Notre Dame supported Freeman, stating that he did not physically engage with anyone and that the accusations are unfounded. The incident arose after Freeman’s son lost a match and involved a verbal confrontation between the families.
