Season 4 of the popular Netflix show “Last Chance U” is going to feature an ejection and a suspension.
Independence Community College coach Jason Brown consistently argued with officials during his team’s loss to Iowa Western last Saturday. That led to Brown being ejected during the fourth quarter.
It also led to a suspension for Brown, who announced on Twitter on Wednesday that he won’t be coaching his team this Saturday against Coffeyville. Brown also apologized to his team’s fans in his tweet.
To our fans and followers I want to apologize for my actions but I wont be able to coach vs Coffeyville due to being suspended so like i told my team i screwed up and let ya'll down, "dont do the crime if you cant do the time" we love you and please continue to support us#DREAMU pic.twitter.com/85QAqHJjZ1

Brown and Independence are entering their second season being featured on “Last Chance U” after the school first became the center of the show in Season 3.
This year, Independence is 1-5 with five straight losses since winning its season opener against Dodge City.
