Email making clear that JB still head coach went out to Bullis lacrosse parents at end of July. It just didn't get leaked to the press (likely because it didn't help DCE...)
Putting this debacle on a lax club (DCE) is totally stupid. The headmaster (really s/b the AD but not empowered in this case) is the only leader with the authority to hire/fire coaches for the school. If DCE had a few assts that did not get along with the head coach then the Headmaster (not the club) had a decision to make—which it turns out was made and then reversed. That is on the Bullis Head and his advisors (the school’s Board). Most of the players with DCE club team attend other high schools so this is a big nothing burger.
It seems odd to me that the club, which apparently was helping to fund the turf fields (true?), had coaches/club founders on staff at the school. Seems like a conflict of interest to me, as they are in a position to tell the school that it should be playing the club kids regardless of their merits. Obviously, the head and any board members involved should have been exercising much better oversight throughout the process, but I'd be curious to know how the DC Express guys got on the coaching staff in the first place.
