Re: Sancomb Out At Wheeling Jesuit
A new president and new athletic director at Wheeling Jesuit this year. Two very successful basketball coaches at the school either leave or are terminated.
Is this a Tex Williams/University of Charleston situation with Sancomb? And when I say that, I don't mean that Sancomb committed the same exact violation as Williams did that forced him out.
It will be interesting to see what the reason for termination actually is. Most coaches could be fired over technicalities or minor mishaps if schools really wanted to do this. There are those NCAA violations that are secondary violations (that carry little to no penalty) and those that are primary violations. Secondary violations occur every year at all institutions. If Sancomb was fired for something petty, then I think some of the rumors about wanting to dump him for other reasons might be actually true. There are rumors on other boards that it was over his salary. Time will tell.
The truth will come out. Since it has legal implications it appears, then it will probably take quite some time before it comes out. Maybe not. But it is interesting that a successful coach and a popular coach among former players was let go
