context: As assistant coaches and an athletic trainer, Defendants Palladino, Mr. Ducar, Ms. Ducar, and Prentice were not Defendant Dorrance's supervisors and had no authority over his behavior. In the absence of legal control over Defendant Dorrance, these Defendants' reporting omissions cannot be said to have affirmatively caused the alleged deprivation of Plaintiffs' constitutional rights.
