Patrick Haun Sr. WR dismissed from team....http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2010/sep/21/haun-top-receiver-top-ranked-catholic-dismissed-te/

 

The Catholic High School football team will be without starting senior wide receiver Patrick Haun when it plays host to rival Webb School of Knoxville on Friday night.

 

The 6-foot-2, 200-pound Haun, 17, was dismissed from the team for undisclosed reasons and is no longer a student at Catholic, athletics director Jason Surlas confirmed Tuesday night.

 

Catholic is 4-0 and ranked No. 1 in the state in the Associated Press Class 5A poll, and has been the past four weeks. Through Catholic’s first four games, Haun had served as quarterback Mike Wegzyn’s favorite target, catching 21 passes for 389 yards and five touchdowns.

 

His six catches for 174 yards and two touchdowns helped Catholic win a District 4-AAA game at William Blount, 27-10, this past Friday night and earned him a nomination for PrepXtra offensive player of the week.

Truly a shame, this is a talented kid.

Human nature is such that we immediately jump to our own conclusions about what he must have done, but thats dangerous. Actions as severe as dismissal from the team as well as expulsion from the school are serious and I'm sure they aren't without merit. But most importantly, this incident should serve to remind us all that football is a priviledge, not a right, and we should pray that this young man can redirect himself and walk in a different direction in the future.

    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with. 
    • Going to grundle Troy Fleming?
    • I agree I don't think it will go to trial either, but I feel like that will be because no judge would deem this to warrant a law suit... If the school board settles, they loose and all coaches and schools loose too.
