You two are quite eloquent in defense of your arguments but may I add some insight from a public school kid. GET A FREAKING ROOM! Exchange emails and duke it out in private. You're boring the rest of us.
HOP, you missed the chance to be educated by men in dresses? In reality there are fewer and fewer "men of the cloth" at the school and the place is not run the way it used to be. It just isn't as good as a result. The school can cover up the wrinkles with facilities and services but the face still dhows the signs of aging.
Read the letter that the Coach from Yale just wrote to the administration and you will see you are wrong. Praised Pomps, Chaminade and the character of the men who graduate from there. Cham has had more captains at Yale than any other high school. Pomps is the only JV, yes ONLY JV, coach in the COUNTRY that Yale even speaks with. Yale recruits these boys primarily because of Pomps and the type of men that Chaminade graduates. These are good students and leaders of great character, and upstanding values. The men who teach there are dedicated whether they are of the cloth or not. BTW, the boy who took the video has left the school (clearly not of the same character).
That's nice of the Yale coach to stand up for Pomps but you are a bit off in your assessment. He is the only JV coach that college coaches will speak to because of the following: 1. Early recruiting 2. Chaminade is the only school that doesn't bring 9th and 10th graders up to varsity (or rarely does)
Therefore, the Chaminade JV coach is actually a more important recruiting resource than the Varsity coach. I'm sure the HC has a strong say, but most of his kids are done before they even put on a Varsity uniform these days.
These same JV kids would be on their Varsity teams if they stayed at their local public school and no college coach would be speaking to their JV coach about recruiting.
