Northwestern Athletic Director Situation

Apparently the thread has been deleted, so I started a new one.
Question to the admins. What is the problem? Why do you keep deleting threads that folks are posting about? It is a fair discussion that 4-5 posters are having and no one is saying negative things directed at the other person. Isn't that what these boards are about? If you don't like the thread, you don't have to read it. Now back to my response to Impartial Observer...
Thank you for the fact that you know, which is there was a fight among coaches in a game and the Athletic Director was in the middle of it. The other incident is speculation on your end. If the parent in question told you, or others, that she was "coached up", then that is different. But, as has been pointed out by other poster(s). There were multiple parents involved with the incident(s) with Coach Martin. In a previous post, I mentioned that all this was over one parent saying something to which multiple posters told me it was MULTIPLE parents. So, in that scenario, it would be very difficult for a school administrator to orchestrate that and it not get out. Below are the stories on the incident, they all note "concerns" from "parents".

These insinuate multiple concerns from multiple parents. One of which, Alisha Johnson, decided to go on record. If she (or others) were coached up (by the AD) as you are suggesting, she (the parent) could face major legal ramifications from Coach Martin in regards to that situation. He would have a very winnable case.
Look, I am not trying to say the Athletic Director should keep her job or that she didn't do anything wrong. I am trying to figure out what has actually happened. So many Northwestern fans are extremely adamant about "shady things" but again, other than a fight involving coaches that the AD was in the middle of, no "facts" have been offered.
I continue to say, THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE those facts will come out, unless the AD did something illegal. A school district, or any government entity does not give cause for termination unless an illegal act has been committed. Instead, they just note that he/she has been terminated with cause. That is it, end of story. So for those "taxpayers" that want answers, you will have to live with the answers you share on here.
