Last I heard on this matter Mr. Football "All Charges Dropped". Not enough evidence. Too bad he didn't get to play. Cost him, team and school. Guess that is how it works. Guilty until proven otherwise.

Almost unbelievable! I am still in agreement with maj,shut down all men sports!If all this proves true then this is a Death penalty(for the mens sports)case in my opinion with all that KEEPS coming out.

[HeHatemeNOT]

Completely stupid. 3 people are responsible for this horrific action. That is it. This blame and fire everyone is crap. hold the people accountable for their actions.

Dropped charges differ from being found not guilty.

Dropped charges differ from being found not guilty.

Or maybe "not guilty".  But your name is plastered all over the media

The right decision was made.

First of all, before I had a stroke in August 2014, I was involved in the football and basketball programs at Ooltewah High School for 30 years. Two people who have replied in this thread know who I am face to face (baconbreath and RedRebels)  I don't know everything about what is going on, the authorities in Sevier County knows the most of anybody.

 

On hardships, kids can transfer from failing schools and if the school doesn't offer a particular subject, they can transfer to a school that does. Ooltewah offers German, not too many schools offer that. There maybe more things, but that is one that I do know. In regards of the case, I'm gonna let the authorities in Sevier County fill me in what is going on. Everything else out there is conjecture at this point. I'm not defending these actions, but any comments from me is just my opinion and I don't know enough to comment.

I'd say the odds of any of the transfer basketball players being in a German class are something less than the odds of winning on my now worthless powerball ticket.

Again, many played a part in the delay of explanations and information. Many have been criticized and Coach Montgomery has been reassigned, but the info forthcoming will at least explain why the Coach did not end the season earlier, why he did not speak to media, etc. While not perfect, the Coach was following instructions given by a very broken system in Hamilton co. and a very problematic school board.

After a month it appears some " right " decisions are starting to be made, though not by the school board. Way too little and too late in my opinion. Terminations should follow and a men's sports sabbatical should be announced now. Transfer athletes can go back to wherever them came from, (  of course those who are taking German should be exempt ). Stench of this mess and the way it was handled continues to grow and it appears the : see no, hear no, speak no  monkeys have been in charge of this asylum for some time.
