POLICE BLOTTER
The Arrowhead harrassment case involving coach Ron Reichle was handled appropriately according to the US department of Education.
For those of you that remember the earlier days of this blog former coach Dave Thorpe would get on his soap box. Here is Thorpe's take on this situation:
"Without knowing the school, coach, or circumstances, I would be willing to wager he has a winning record. Athletic Directors talk a lot about student athletes, and how winning is not the top priority of the school, but when you start having a few losing seasons all of a sudden these same athletic directors start listening to parents."
Reichle has a winning record as a coach.
From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and GM Today.
