YAKIMA -- Days after allegations that a Yakima basketball coach raped a teen went public, investigators said Wednesday they're getting more calls from young boys who claim they're also the coach's victims.

Randy Sayler pleaded not guilty in court on two counts of second degree child rape involving a 13-year-old boy -- the same day police say several more teens came forward to claim Sayler touched them inappropriately.

After the first alleged teen came to police, investigators almost immediately interviewed a second teen with similar allegations.

The latest teen is a few years older than the first alleged victim.

Police say as word gets out, they're getting more calls.

Sayler is a Yakima boys basketball coach for his own private team.

He also volunteered as a football coach at West Valley Junior High last year.
