Two assistant football coaches from Westminster College who apparently were wrestling with each other fell through a hotel window yesterday morning and fell four stories to a sidewalk, leaving one in serious condition.

The American Football Coaches Association is holding its annual convention at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tenn., and hotel security had been called around 4:10 a.m. with a noise complaint when officers found a broken window and Scott Coy and Darren DeMeio outside on the ground below.

Mr. Coy, 29, of New Castle, was in critical condition and having surgery yesterday at Vanderbilt University. Mr. DeMeio, 24, of Clinton, Ohio, he was in fair condition.

Mr. Coy is co-offensive coordinator and DeMeio is the running backs coach, according to the Lawrence County college's Web site. College officials could not be reached for comment in New Wilmington.
