Mostly unrelated side note. 

Pretty famous Waltrip alum, although much older; graduated in about 1983, none other than..."The Undertaker" of pro wrestling fame.  Real name Mark Calaway.  Played college basketball before becoming a wrestler.

YES, it was true!! He was 20 years old at the time and was a teammate of then Duke freshman William Avery, when they were featured as juniors at Oak Hill Academy, TWO years prior to his arrival at Waltrip..He was declared ineligible during the 98-99 season.

It counts as far as the UIL goes, but when it all happened HISD officials took down the state championship banner in Delmar Fieldhouse.

Gotta love Drexler's comment about only wanting him if he has good character and wanting to avoid any headaches.  That was how coaches and recruiters thought a couple of decades ago.  Boy, how times have changed. smh

      Dang "Erectionists"!

      To clarify, Dems love wars. They rage daily in the bluest of blue inner citicis. Chicago had 39 shootings over the weekend, 9 dead. Warzone. Baltimore, Memphis, Detroit, etc. I am sure was just as bloody. The blue body count rises daily. I am sure the blue defunding of police and releasing murders without any bail have nothing to do with it. Right?

      Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.
