What is best for the girls in the team? Firing the coach?

If there is something I am upset about this case – it is that the basketball coach got fired.

Quotes above tell how much players liked their coach.  I don’t think the school administration was thinking about the girl’s best when they fired him.

Coach stood up for his team – and has to pay for it! – “Do you think it is right?”

Coach Micah’s decision for not agreeing with the school officials shows his loyalty for the girls. Coach did what you supposed to do in team sports – you play for the team.

He stood up for his team and players by saying:

“I do not agree with the apology or the notion that the Covenant School girls basketball team should feel embarrassed or ashamed.”

His players have been playing for him and sticking with him on the floor.  Now he stood up for them – and has to pay for it.

“Do you think the school did the right thing for the girls by firing the coach?”  “Did he deserve to get fired for disagreeing with school officials?”
