I think some people are missing the point in an attempt to cover things up and avoid the embarrassment of the situation. I do think it is important to discuss what needs to be public and what needs to be private and how that information should be given out to the public. SCYSA should have a formal website that would post any coaching violations, including red cards. I think this is very important as a parent. I trust that an organization would check out someone but it doesn't always happen and there are always problems in that procedure. For instance if Bridge FA decides to cover it up so much that they don't report to any one about the coach. I know that my club does a crimial background check but that isn't going to show any club suspensions. So what stops him from going to NCYSA or GYSA for a year or starting a USCLUB team. There is a reason why the government makes all criminal activity public unless you are a minor. You can go to richland county's web site and search for all my speeding tickets but I can't see if a coach has been suspended and why. Just ask the Catholic Church about covering up for bad priests. If this coach goes to another club and really hurts a player, SCYSA and Bridge FA could be named in a lawsuit because they knew about his pattern but didn't make it public. I know this seems extreme but it is amazing how little things can have a snowball effect years down the road.
