I am close to the above situation and feel it necessary to reply. It is one thing to question coach lennon's coaching style, however, his individual acheivements as a wrestler in high school and at the collegiate level speak for themselves as does john's impeccable career as a coach at the high school level. The wrestler in question, although taleneted, has repeatedly been disciplined to the point where Coach Lennon had no option but to dismiss him from the team. In fact the most recent incident occurred while said athlete was serving a suspension NOT handed out by Coach Lennon. Again, this wreslter had been disciplined numerous times prior to coach lennon taking ANY action. To make wild and otherwise ludicrous accusations regarding Coach Lennon's behavior is not only irresponsible but highly inappropriate and only serves to distract from the actual facts of the situation. Further, this takes away from the rest of the team following and abiding by school and team policies. Often we as parents do not hold our children accountable for their actions but rather defend the behavior their child has exhibited. I also understand each member of the team signed a TEAM policy/behavior contract prior to the season. Coach Lennon has NEVER exposed any child nor has ever bullied, cursed, or treated any student inappropriately either in the theatre or on the mat. While we all get very emotional when our children are involved it would behoove everyone to step back and look at the FACTs of the situation. I stand in FULL SUPPORT of Coach Lennon
