I don't believe probation is the same as suspension. From what I gather they will probably get to play but will be under close watch.

I'm not an expert though.

I asked my favorite retired superintendent/brother-in-law about the probation vs. eligibility issue and he thought the school would remain eligible for playoffs. He also qualified his thoughts with the "I'm no expert" statement..........

[CT6MFL]

Yeah, the only thing I had to compare it to was other organizations that were under probation and still were able to play.

Who knows…. lol

On the UIL websites business it only mentions the word Probation and a public reprimand to the AD.

According to the UIL Website:

http://www.uiltexas.org/leaguer/article ... al-notices

Calvert ISD/Calvert High School – The State Executive Committee voted to issue Calvert High School and Coach Marcus Wortham three years probation and a public reprimand for violations of rules requiring submission of eligibility forms and completion of the Rules Compliance Program.

No where does it say TEAM SUSPENSION FROM UIL PLAYOFFS, Loss of district games, etc....


My guess is, Calvert will be able to participate in UIL athletics while under 3 years of probation.

[SWRaider]

Wortham is no longer at Calvert correct?

[CT6MFL]

according to the paper, he was dismissed.

[coach75us]

the assistant coach left too. So should be an interesting year.

[Wonder Dog]

Have they filled this position yet or are they awaiting to see what happens with the UIL sanctions

[Kramer]

was told today 2 candidates/finalists will be brought to the school board meeting & discussed...
So Calvert should have a head football/head basketball/head track coach in place on Wednesday, July 22.

Don't know why they'd wait this late to bring someone on board

[Wonder Dog]

Would a school let the coach out of his contract being this close to the start of the season

Tough place to coach. Extremely tough when you have one person coaching football, basketball, track. Whoever lands that job will have there hands full. Community from what I was told is working real hard to replace the present Superintendent.

[Kramer]

yes I agree, that will be extremely tough & exhausting to be the head coach of football, head basketball and head track coach.
To go along with a #1 ranking, trying to go further than a state semi-final run in football (which means state title game).

I've said to myself many times, How could that Superintendent not be in hot water for not following up on ALL uil paperwork.

As of today there will be two coaches hired at Calvert I.S.D. One Assistant football, track, and Head basketball, along with a Head football and track coach. Along with these two coaches, the new A.D will help with football.
