Subject: Re: Women’s soccer coach fired Author: wcpurple [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Friday, August 30, 10:31:31am Author Host/IP: syn-071-080-194-159.res.spectrum.com/71.80.194.159 In reply to: RCM 's message, "Women’s soccer coach fired" on Tuesday, August 27, 06:43:35pm I found several articles on the "leadership change". very disappointing they deleted his bio off the web site instead of hiding it. But what do I expect from administration that mentions being asst coach in now-defunct empire state games and being a former high school athlete. What are we doing here? ----- She worked as an assistant coach with the Adirondack Region team who won gold in the 2000 Empire State Games. four-year starting point guard at Keuka College where she helped lead the team to ECAC and NYSWCAA postseason tournament appearances. five-sport athlete at Catholic Central High School and was inducted into its Athletics Hall of Fame in June, 2008.

It is the coach's responsibility to put the safety of his team and anyone else as his first priority. If he or she fails to do that, not only is the bus driver guilty but so is the coach who let the incident slide. Removing the coach for such negligence and irresponsibility would seem automatic in my opinion.

How would like to be the AD and somebody says to you: "Hey what about that bus driver the other day"? What bus driver?

It actually makes it look worse. I would assume that almost no consulting firm would recommend such a thing. Own it. Tell your stake holders what happened (so much as you can) what happened etc. That’s all. This stuff happens every day in college sports. The SOP is not burying the lede. That’s all. Enjoy your holiday !

The stakeholders trust that the university does what's best without having to get their approval, and 26 years has nothing to do with anything. Just like with Tom Crowley, Pat Beilein, and even JAM, information may leak out but it's not going to come from inside the AD's office. I know what happened from each one of those incidents, but none of it came from Simon Gray. People want facts because they are naturally nosey and feel entitled but after 71 years on this earth, I find that the best thing is done and these situations are handles fairly well to protect both the school and the individual involved.
