ELITE 8 TURN TO BOBBY JONES AS NEW AD

Although the agenda read Charlie Kiss to be hired as Athletic Director at $69,000 and the overhead read the same until the last second, the final result was not Charlie Kiss at all, it was Bobby Jones. Jones who has never been an Athletic Director has been a long time College Basketball Coach most recently at Saint Francis University where he recorded an overall mark of 85 - 157 before being let go. Jones moved back to Pittsburgh and supposedly was to have been an independent scout for the NBA[????]. He will begin August 9th at a salary of $75,000.00.
A few highlights of the evening:
1. Mr. Ed Dalton got up and spoke about how he tried not to file a law suit and explained the events as he saw them.
2. Mrs. Fancis Eates asked what would hapPen if Mr. Dalton wins his law suit, Mr. Makel said he can't comment.
3. Mr. Ray Deep spoke about the night of January 7th Mr. Bodnovich told him and another person that they had a three year deal in place with Mr. Dalton.
4. Mr. Bodnovich used a mike, but we still seemed to have problems with moving an agenda item he stated the wrong number, and adjourning the meeting was a problem.
5.Allegedly Mr. Kiss withdrew at noon but they did not have time to update the BOARD agenda.
6. Alledgedly, (I could not see where I was sitting) I missed a pair of shoes for the ages worn by one of the Elite 8.
7. We were waiting to hear Mr. Keisling give a rambling speach on how he selected the new AD but he did not, he must have been worn out working out the last minute deal.
Finally, one BOARD member says he is going to say things all the time to clear things up and then he never does, very disappointing!
ANOTHER IDEA, FOR THE FUTURE IN HIRING, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CANDIDATE THAT DAY, CANCEL YOUR MEETING, AND START OVER BUT THEN AGAIN MAYBE SOON WE WILL HAVE TWO AD'S!
NEXT WRITING A LITTLE INFORMATION FROM BURGETTSTOWN, YOU WILL FIND IT INTERESTING!

SPECIAL BOARD MEETING!

The Trinity Area Board of Education will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow night for the purpose of hiring a new Director of Athletics to replace Ed Dalton. Allegedly the job will go to McKeesport Director of Athletics Charlie Kiss who is being pressured at McKeesport to leave over nepotism. Mr. Kiss will supposedly make 72,000 a year, and alledgedly the contract for him is three years. He resides in Penn Trafford School District in Westmoreland County.
-Alledgedly there is an interesting audio tape going around with a discussion of interesting details about a contact extension for Ed Dalton as AD and Head Football Coach in January.
-I will be at tomorrow's meeting as will many people I have talked to it should be interesting.
A FINAL THOUGHT: CAN ANYONE TELL ME IF WE HAVE OR DON'T HAVE A BASEBALL COACH?
A CHALLENGE: READ THE MINUTES FROM BOARD COMMITTEE MEETINGS AND SEE HOW MUCH TIME IS SPENT DISCUSSING ATHLETICS. THE PERSONEL COMMITTEE MINUTES ARE REALLY INTERESTING, THE MAJOR DISCUSSION WAS HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE STANDING ON THE SIDELINE DURING THE FOOTBALL GAMES!

Sunday thoughts about the Elite 8 and other thoughts

I apologize the blog site will not let me copy and load documents like Ed Dalton's lawsuit or Dennis McWreath and Jack Keisling's retirement packages. I will attempt to summerize them for everyone soon.
If you drive a bus for a company contracted by the Trinity Area School District, how can it NOT be a conflict of interest to be on the School Districts Transportation Committee. We have submitted this theory to the state for an opinion.
Alledgedly Charlie Kiss has been offered the Athletic Director Position, is he going to live in McKeesport? That would work well, aren't we worried about administrators being available at a moments notice.
Alledgedly the BOARD President appointed four additional members to the Hall of Fame Committee and then suspended the Hall of Fame or something like that; as always the gold medalist is confusing. It appears the new members are Brian Hilk a former great athlete at Trinity with children in the school district, Tom Sypula who lives in the Trinity School District but his son attended Washington on an employee voucher, Steve Day father of Scott Day[nepotism does not count unless you want it to], and John Unice former Uniontown Basketball Star[he really was on the team] and Washington and Jefferson Basketball Coach. Removed were Gerald Chambers, Jeff Miller, Sam Pugilisi, and Heather Watson.
Allegedly the BOARD might not hold work sessions any longer that would eliminate public comment on agenda topics, all explain it better in my next post.
