So we get it you never drank at all in your life as a teen or in collage so you're this guy is a bad guy. We also know there are no second chances in life or no chance for someone to grow up and do the right thing.
I am not the OP, but two things: 1. I drank plenty back in the day, but I never was arrested and drinking doesn't even come close to explaining being arrested for second degree burglary and fifth degree criminal possession of stolen property! 2. I would hope that all clubs follow common practice of criminal background checks for all coaches and directors, and if he was convicted in either case, he should not be allowed to coach.
Why would a long island lax club follow criminal background checks? Look who 99% of the owners are!
I believe all of these places look at background in terms of violent crimes. To the person that said they drank plenty in collage and was never arrested all it takes is for you to cross paths with campus police on a bad day so please. Second please search for the outcome of the case super sleuth. If you know the criminal justice system so well you know what you're arrested for, charged with and eventually pleaded or tried for are like apples and oranges. The guy may have a checkered past especially for the second offense but unless he was charged with a felony or accused of hurting kids in his care you need to go do something with yourself. A pet or a hug from your wife maybe.
"...but unless he was charged with a felony ..."?????? He was charged with a felony. A Class C violent felony offense which requires a mandatory minimum sentence of 3 1/2 years if convicted. As per records which are publicly assessable to anyone with an internet connection, he was arrested for this offense twice in the same calendar year, and had to post bail twice. The cases are still pending. The good news for him is that one of the Burg 2 dockets was plead down to Petit Larceny, which is a class A misdemeanor (still a criminal offense). It was given a very long date for sentencing or control, so its possible that prior to judgment being entered he will get a further reduction to a non-criminal offense. Usually this means the individual is in some sort of program in the interim, although this information is not listed (nor would it usually be), and I just making an educated guess as to this particular fact. The other Burg 2 docket is just being carried along so its likely such will be dismissed once his case is finished. Almost certainly won't be convicted of a felony when its all over.
And before someone says something like get a life, he probably beat you up in HS, it took me about 30 seconds to look this up, and maybe another 45 seconds to type this - and I think its necessary to clean up what has been posted with actual facts.
Let's just say that if I were a director of a club team, whether this guy was convicted or not, and I knew about this history, he would not be a desirable candidate for coaching in my organization! And no, I never was beat up in my entire life, I played two sports at the NCAA level, so enough with the ad hom attacks when you have nothing better to argue your point. Maybe it's just me, but under these circumstances, on LOng Island, given a choice between this guy and other options, there have to be equally good options WITHOUT multiple arrest records!
Who ever said that the club owners are intelligent? Come on, let's get real now. Next everyone will think a politician should govern the NCAA and make holdbacks on 91 legit to play in the wsyl.
