Any news on what they are going to do about a men's coach at Tusculum?

Tusculum will begin a search for a new men's head coach in Jan.

 

The status of the players from this years team for next year is a question mark. Since the school did not investigate the incident, they have no idea who was guilty. They "requested" the coach's resignation, held all the players (innocent and guilty) responsible and cancelled the season. All scholarships will be re-evaluated at the end of the year and it will be up the AD and new coach which players stay and who goes. No idea how they will make any kind of fair decision since the Athletic Director botched the whole thing from the beginning.

 

It is a shame - Tusculum men looked good in pre-season play. The woman's team by the way is in the Elite 8 this year.

I only know what I have read. Tusculum is looking for a new head coach. Sounds like Ilovethisgame has more info on the subject.

 

ETSU is hiring a head coach for their new men's D1 program to start next year. The position is on their web site.

One rumor I have heard is that Allen Vitale from Carson-Newman will move on to ETSU and Tony Castainca will go to Carson-Newman. Just rumors though.

I have heard that Allen wanted to go back to Tusculum, but perhaps the pull of a Division 1 program changed his mind.

 

Interesting thought about Carson Newman and Coach C. Do you think he would move?

I watched the Tusculum team play about a week before all this happened and they were extremely good, easily a match for LMU and CN. I really think highly of both Tony Castainca and Louis Thorpe and I truly hope both land on their feet very soon.

 

I didn't realize there was no contemporaneous investigation up there. I think everyone assumed an investigation had been accomplished, first because that's what should have happened and, second, due to the incredible speed and severity of the sanctions imposed. I assumed that the administration had undertaken some form of review and had determined culpability on the part of the two coaches as well as the involved players. In retrospect, it now sounds like two very fine and dedicated coaches (and men) may have been treated rather hastily and poorly. The swift firings and season suspension made for good "doing-right" copy in the media but, given this information, I wonder how many competant coaches will rush for the opportunity to work in a climate that apparently hung everyone found near the scene of the crime before investigating the facts and giving them a fair trial. :angry:

My son is (was) a member of the team. I am privy to all the ugly details but I'm not sure the girls soccer forum is the appropriate place for discussion. However, you have a very astute assessment of the facts. Suffice it to say, 2 coaches and many innocent young players had their careers ruined and reputations tainted by the actions of a few dishonest individuals and the knee-jerk, gastapo-like action of the AD. No investigation was ever done! I would gladly sign up as a Plus Member and post on the boys forum if anyone wants to discuss further.

      Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
