Pages20-21 and elsewhere clearly confirm the Head Coach reported the 2018 player information to his supervisor, likely an assistant AD in charge of baseball.
The report is conspicuously silent on the action/inaction of the superior who was alerted in January of 2018.
Rather the report comes back and concluded the coach should have done more without being clear on what “more”” should have been done, especially with the report confirming how problematic it would have been to get reliable information from the players.
To me, the HC did what he was mandated to do-communicate the information to the AD. It is a complete mystery why the report is completely silent on any AD culpability
The report clearly concluded the pattern of misconduct was within the team without confirmation of coaching knowledge or tacit looking the other way.
So the apparently rogue players are reinstated and the HC loses his job. (Hopefully he gets his UCRS retirement)
Administration culpability-silent.
Now that I've read all of the report, completely agree. One year left on his contract that was likely not to be renewed, seems like they picked the easiest scapegoat. I personally would have gone after the Asst. AD.
It's too bad. Vaughn seemed like a nice guy, although very reserved and lacking charisma (a bit like my son). Lefty had some conversations with him at Showball camp just before this happened. Def glad it went nowhere at this moment.
