I have been informed that is a “Christian” school so it seems to me they should have been more forgiving. After all they may have left the guy without a means to support his family, which would not be very “Christian” of them.
Some people around here are acting like the guy had his team beat the other team up, and steal their lunch money.
The people really responsible for this are the ones who thought it might be a good idea to allow a team, who obviously can’t play basketball, to play a team, who obviously can. This can’t be the first time this particular team has lost by a significant amount.
I don’t think Grimes worked for the school other than to coach the girls basketball team. I’m not sure what his employment is.
The Dallas Academy team hasn’t won a game according to some articles I’ve read. The Dallas Covenant school apparently started a basketball program four years ago and went from a start up to a contender for the state championship last year. They even lost a game early on in their program 80 something to 6, if I remember correctly.
There are two sides to this story of which we’ll most likely never know all the facts. Apparently the game was played at Covenant so why didn’t the Covenant school officials step in and stop the game themselves instead of waiting until now to forfiet and appoligize?... Other articles I’ve read said the home crowd was cheering the team on towards the 100 point mark of which they obtained. The Academy coach said they didn’t tape the game but that maybe Covenant did. A video would show a little more of what truly went on without the emotions tied to it.
The Academy coach said his girls got off 7 shots at the basket. The Covenant girls made 4 three point attempts so basically I see it as a running game which employed. Steal the ball and run for the layup.
LOL I can tell you that even Christian schools will fire you if you don’t follow their rules, and/or if you publicly criticize them.
I doubt this was his sole income, (not really sure he was paid, but maybe) since it was stated he did not otherwise work or teach at the school. I don’t know many schools that can afford a fully paid coach who doesn’t also do something else at the school.
