Where's the toleration and understanding?

Seems to be a one way street. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

that's brutal. If his contentions are true hopefully he'll have a case. Be interested to hear the school's side of the argument as it wasn't presented in that article, even though they had the opportunity to and chose no comment.

be interested to hear the outcome, hopefully he gets some $$

Maybe Gregory Kenney was fired because he had a lesbian boss who hated heterosexual family men. I doubt it.

Or, maybe he was fired because he was a crappy coach. From the athletics page of the Trinity School website we learn the following.

Mr. Kenney coached Boys MS Gold Soccer. (I believe MS stands for Middle School) His won-loss records were:
2010-2011 1-5
2011-2012 3-3-2
2012-2013 0-6-1
Over all record 4-14-1

Boys MS Blue Basketball team.
2010-2011 6-3
2011-2012 1-8
2012-2013 1-9
overall 8-20 including 2-17 in last two years.

Coed varsity golf
2010-2011 4-5
2011-2012 3-7
2012-2013 0-9-1
Over all record 7-21-1

In nine sports seasons spread over three years and three sports, Mr Kenney had one winning season. He had five seasons in which his teams won zero or one game. Over his final two seasons his teams won 15% of their games. Even the Cubs don't do that badly.

Mr. Kenney claims that AD Krieger wanted him to coach three sports. WHY? If I were AD at Trinity he would not be coaching third grade tiddlywinks.

Hopefully he gets zero $$ and has to pay court costs. To me, this is just a guy who can't accept blame for his own failures. In addition to his poor record as a coach (documented in #3) we know that he illegally sublet an apartment provided by the school and that he was reprimanded a number of times for leaving students alone and unsupervised.

My fear is that the school will settle in order to prevent a costly and contentious court fight,

Makes you wonder that when a lesbian or gay teacher is fired (or any lesbian or gay employee is fired from anywhere), whether they were really fired due to discrimination, as they sometimes claim, or whether or not they just sucked at their jobs.

I'll put my money on sucked at their jobs, just like you are doing here.

Say what you really mean... should have been in a teacher's union like a good boy and he'd still have his job... and deserve it, damn it!

no matter who was coaching,even you.

Your research would have been impressive had it not been done to support your point rather than find the truth.

Incorrect again (becoming tiresome)...

Explain the record of the MS Gold Basketball team over the same time frame --- 7 for 22. Mr. Kenney was not the coach. Maybe, just maybe the explanation is as Woodtoo suggested: the players weren't very good.

I love your reflexive defensive of all things liberal. Slow down and think next time.

[Saratoga_Mike]

And one more thing: the blue teams are basically set up for fun, and the gold teams are meant to be more competitive.

As for co-ed golf, you honestly want to analyze that record? Ever consider it was a bunch of kids that just wanted to learn how to play golf?

I supported my point by finding the truth. Let me be clear that I am only suggesting an alternate explanation for the firing. A trial should be able to determine which is correct.

No you didn't - it was classic reflexive defense. Please think next time. Thanks.

Mosty, it's clear that you would value a coaches record over the course of a 10 game season.

I am guessing the kids that go to a 41k per year academy generally suck at sports.

This highlights one of my gripes when I was working. If you are single, you get the crappy hours so the "family people" can be with their family. I stuck on managing second shift because the other "candidate" had a kid. I was even told that to my face and if I didn't like it, I could go to..... The choices I had, quit (not an option at age 58) or move to another city. They were re-organizing and one of us was going to nights. I suppose I could have sued, but I'd still be looking for job even if one. When there is only one parking management company in the city at one time, I did not feel like I had an option. Even when I was on the day shift, if something was happening the weekend, I always got stuck. Parents have got to be with their kids, right?

Mr. Kenney was not the coach. Mr. James Duggan was. He is also no longer the coach.
