Her gym coaches know diving well as the brother of head coach was a diving coach for local high school and I believe West Chester University until he got himself into some hot water.
There is something very wrong with a system that allows these people to have a safety net like that. She didn'thave the moral decency to see that students were protected yet she can be given the honor of teaching? If that happens, I hope not one student enrolls in her class.
The other issue I have is that their contract at Auburn did not get renewed. There were many reports of the same abusive behavior fromvthat time so of course logic tells you that is at least partly the reason for the nonrenewal ... bot to mention the team wasnt doing well. They had the...
I heard they are coaching but I don't know where. There is another thread started by a parent asking what you would do if your club hired a coach who had been called out for creating and abusive culture. The problem is that if one employer says oh we fired for this reason, they will get sued by...
She "resigned" because we all do that for no reason .... Then he was fired in February las t year - mid season. They didn't even wait for him to finish out the year. Do you believe it had nothing to do with all the complaints. Many of the girls who were on the team last season complained ... So...
Well, when one employer can just say they were fired and the reason is a personnel issue it gives license for them to carry on elsewhere. Had there been a required reporting in place back to their days at auburn perhaps they wouldn't have been hired by Penn State. Then Penn State fires them but...
No ... hold Barbour accountable for not properly investigating things at PSU. The Nassar issue has provided clarity about the state of the inappropriate culture that has been allowed to fester in the gymnastics community. Click bait .. seriously?

I was just thinking about this and how all the testimony during Nassar's sentencing makes a person question why PSU didn't take this stuff seriously. If it wasn't clear before it should be very clear now that the coaching culture at all levels of gymnastics has seen its share of really poor...
I agree that Nassar had to be the one to decide not to molest young girls but there are a lot of parents who stand back and shut up when a coach is not acting in the best interests of the girls be it physical or emotional. Without realizing it they are actually sacrificing their child's self...
8 from the incoming class from 2012. There were others prior to that and I believe others after that but I'm not positive why the others left. The 8 from the incoming 2012 class were the first recruits for those coaches and let's just say it was pretty quickly off the rails. Injuries, eating...
I will say there is a ton of debate about the situation on other message boards over the years and many articles one can Google. The one thing I feel is important to note is there were always a few folks very willing to dispel the accusations and concerns but then there was the 1400+signature...
