St. Paul Academy Coach resigns

[thestickler07]

I know, but I no say...

But it had nothing to do with recruiting.

The assistant coaches don't know the reason either, because the AD wouldn't tell them. They were plenty pissed.

I'm actually kind of surprised the former coach didn't discuss the situation with his assistant coaches before leaving. In my experience those relationships are pretty close.
Of course we are assuming that Goldy is correct and they really don't know rather than are respectfully staying out of it.

I have no idea what they know now NTMH, or whether they've had contact with the former coach.

2 of the assistants at SPA are former players of Owens'. Probably safe to say they talk.

Was at the semifinal between St. Paul academy vs St. Paul Johnson. I see why a coach would not want to be the coach of that team. There were three coaches on the bench and another ten or so in the stands. There were ten or so parents coaching their little Johnny from the stands. Yelling directions to the kids by name and what to do. Also the youngest coach on the bench looked like he was the coach by name but all he did was stand there. The two others gave directions on the bench and talked to players about what to do in situations. The younger guy would try to give direction and got stared down by the other two. The younger guy is coach by name only. Is that confusing for the kids with two different individuals coaching differently.

Are you talking about SPA? They just lost their head coach going into the playoffs, I would say that is unique enough.

I have heard from sources close to the coach that he was hooking up with not one, but two mothers who had sons on the team. I guess SPA did not want that going on and asked him to resign.....

Don't we want coaches to be father figures for their players?

Class act move by the faculty! Hats off to them and should be an epic game against Mahtomedi!

Come on. That's ridiculous.
Nice board nickname though. No one would even guess you were from Mahtomedi.

That's the same story I heard....

One way to try and get your kid some more playing time.

It's only a 10 minute milfconduct, so probably worth it.

If true, this wouldn't surprise me.

George Costanza: [pause] Was that wrong? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorence on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've worked in a lot of offices, and I tell you, people do that all the time.

Heard the same rumors as well. Also heard he got canned from his day job as well for similar reasons.

[MrBoDangles]

Pretty sad situation for the program, kids, parents and alumni. You think the guy has the best interest of the kids and he's out doing this.. Very brutal for the players and dads in this situation.. Surprised the guy is still walking.

All these types will take a hard fall.

Okay, the first rumor is out. The second is harassing an eighteen year old concession worker by continually asking for dates, even after being warned multiple times.

[Windmill31]

I have no comment on this other than keep in mind its just rumors at this point. There is nobody who has identified themselves to have been in person talking to the coach but rather only people who have talked to "sources close to the coach". There is no other source closer to the coach than his best friends/former assistant coaches, and they still don't know what is going on, so keep an open mind (it's okay to investigate rumors), but know that none of the accusations are 100% proven.

Brutal

[thestickler07]

His facebook page said he moved to Hayward several days ago.

Probably best to let this thing die and let those families affected start healing.

Really brutal and despicable behavior.

Agreed. When I hear phrases such as "first rumor"...
