BBall CoachGate Part II - Title IX arrives

We're hearin' 'tings... Who needs Chad Ochocinco (soon to be renamed Chad Hachi Go)? We have our own prima donatellas --and you can hold the Versace. It appears that what we learned for CoachGate Part I is that (s)he who whines gets what (s)he wants. If this all pans out, once again we ask: exactly what lessons are we teaching here?

We hear: the Varsity Girls basketball team and their parents are not happy with the varsity coach and her assistant ( they yell at the girls too much!!! )

We hear that in response: the athletic director (with help from our "superintendent " )
has put both of them on administrative leave and has appointed two teachers from the High School as our new coaches.

Sources indicate that: the girls met with our AD (he of the 7% raise) and informed him that they would not play another game for the present coach .

Drama, Drama, Everywhere
There seems to be a whole weeks worth of drama involved in this decision. We're wondering how the contract of all the parties involved are affected and where do we find the new dollars to make sure that the girls feel good about themselves!!

Of course, this is just rumor at this point (although information comes from quite credible sources). Of course we cannot reveal sources due to potential for unpleasant reprisal. And of equal certainty is that the district is keeping a tight lid on this....though at some point there have to be closed door meetings and official personal documents (hint, hint).
