I have heard Rice has been trying to leave Rockvale the last couple of years. Is there something with the administration or what?

No inside info, but Rice at Rockvale has always felt like a weird fit. He's a small town guy to the bone and Rockvale is one of the fastest growing areas in the state. If they don't hire internally, there should be some good candidates that apply for this job

“It was a hard decision. I didn’t want to make it. But it’s got all to do with family,” said Rice, whose middle son, Austin, was injured in a car accident in October 2019 and is still undergoing physical therapy to regain the use of his limbs. Austin currently resides in Columbia, while Rice has a granddaughter in nearby Ethridge.

I read an article where admin said they are hopeful to find someone to work with the existing staff. Still say they hire from within unless they can make a homerun hire and keep everyone intact. 

Curious to read this article. What was it in? 

 

Never mind - found it

    • 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.
