  5. Obviously, according to overheard conversations during an U18AAA game in the Springs, this was a needless area to go into for the board & they slapped the hand that helped them!

  6. Hesitated replying to (would like to hear from the board), but the more I thought about it the more it bothered me & others close to me, my son & 2 daughters play sports. Are you serious? you may not like what you hear as the coach it seems stood up & cried foul to protect the youths and this through proper authorities then from what we know by asking other parents & individual people who had youths on other teams the usual backlash followed, probably, not proven but difficult to deny, because he followed the law and denounced it to the proper authorities, instead of simply taking the chance of letting them handle it,he had to have some kind of reason for this attitude, My grandfather said I guess nothing was learned from Penn state. Did you not see the reporter on channel 9 news and a board member caught in an embarrassing way, if so are you certain that you want their comments? Are you expecting to have the truth? it is easy to attack someone by using another & not protect your coach from ridiculous areas and people.Character assassination seems to be the reason and I hope to be wrong but it smells not so good, backlash more or likely is what was in place,why else would you not stand up for your coach who gave your program credibility as no one else has his expertise on their staff. My children will never join this program for this reason only, they should have shown more respect to the coach and this makes me think that they would do the same to my children if a conflict or stupid accusation comes forth from a frustrated parent or two pushed for other reasons.I do know this fact,myself and many other parents would allow our kids to play for coach paris anytime, anywhere and we thank him for what he did, it would have been easy to leave it alone as it has been according to the news going on for years.
    now you can go to the board as you should have done in the first place if you wanted more than a blog. I did but got nothing but empty answers.
