HS Admins tend to know a LOT more about coaches/players/programs than parents/bloggers/even media do, whether reported or not. Many smh seperations have a deeper story. There’s been several recent resignations/firings that seemingly come at the most odd juncture. At PSU, the NATIONAL media brutally revealed the lack of integrity. Power corrupted loyalty by the PSU President/AD and others brought on their removal and resultant felony charges. For a coach at the HS level, you can lose games galore and have idiotic blunders which rarely make the news but once a local reg., CIF rule or financial abberation happens, one can expect a swift decision for separation.

Hey I know Isamu won games, but its more to that when ur coaching. u also have to set a good example for kids, no to take shortcuts, and things ike that, and it seems like thats what he was doing at times. There is an admin side to this coaching thing and you have to make sure thats together.

Oh Boy,
Shame on you for thinking the Paterno situation is a mistake. It wasnt a mistake as you claim, it was turning a blind eye to a crime. A mistake is forgetting a signature, or doing math wrong.
Agree with #7 completely.

I know Samu to be a good coach. He got his boys to believe in him and managed many of them thru tough personal times-often keeping them in school thru sports.

Unfortunately, sometimes like Joe Paterno a mistake is enough to undo all that you have built up.

Someone isn’t telling the whole story. You don’t dismiss a coach a week before the season is to begin unless something drastic happened recently.

Thinking back to last year I remember they had a walk out at school cuz the league made them forfeit those games. Couldn’t be a good thing for him. But the OAL seemed to really not want him there & the situation was ust too tough in my opinion to push it. I would have quit after last year.

New commish’s first order of business was to fire a good coach? Sad day for the OAL. Hope he lands on his feet and takes over one of these b-league programs.
