Reinstate Coach Fader
Guest |
/ #452014-08-06 18:02To the person that posted Message #36--- Yes people are not “privy” to what goes on behind closed doors. Due to lack of communication by UW Whitewater we have to use what we have heard from reliable sources. Here is what we do know- An outstanding coach has lost his job; A man who has been committed for years not only to the sport of wrestling but to athletes, families, UW W and the community. He has busted his butt to develop these young men into not only outstanding wrestlers but outstanding citizens. The University on the other hand has proven they are willing to sacrifice a small program to avoid the bigger issues at hand. Such as recently being named on a list of 55 schools facing a Federal Investigation on how they handle and report sexual assaults. Tim Fader was notified of an “alleged sexual assault” that occurred OFF CAMPUS. He reported the incident to the local police and also took the alleged suspect to the police. The matter was later dropped due to false allegations. 2 weeks after the incident was dropped Coach Fader was called into the AD and Chancellor Office and was suspended so the school could conduct an investigation on the recruiting practices due to the incident. The coaches and the wrestlers were told to not discuss the matter. The school releases a “COMMENT” that led to much speculation on the character of the coaches and wrestlers. During the investigation of the wrestling program and Coach Fader -the findings were two “MINOR” infractions. One dealing with the transportation of a recruit and the other for a coach having a “try-out”. The transportation occurred when an individual (a wrestling fan brought a “potential recruit” to UWW)- Which the coaches knew nothing about. The other infraction was due to a coach being in the wrestling room when a “recruit” was wrestling around- “a tryout”. Anyone that knows wrestlers also know when you put them together they are going to roll around and take each other down where ever they are- especially in a wrestling room. These are the findings that have led to Coach Fader being fired. It is pretty ironic the week before Coach Fader was suspended (and hypocritical) the University announced the hiring of a football coach that had MAJOR NCAA violations associated with his Coaching Career. According to Royal Purple News May 7, 2014 article “How could the University hire a coach with pressing violations against him- the answer is simple, really. He’s a good coach.” To further defend why they would hire someone with major violations is “the incident was blown way out of proportion.” Seems like a double standard and way of thinking here. Or maybe it is due to the low revenue and following wrestling programs typically generate. Questions one might ask - if this happened with the football coach would the outcome be the same- I am sure we all know the answer to that one. Or maybe if Coach Fader would of reported the incident to the Chancellor vs the police (BTW the reporting guidelines of sexual assaults at UWW state to contact the local authorities) would he still have his job. Or would everything have been swept under the rug-- because we know this is the route taken at UWW on sexual assaults. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do at this point. As a parent of a wrestler I can tell you Coach Fader instilled pride, teamwork, heart and hard work into these young men!!!! This is what was meant by “DO WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN” WE HAVE TO GET IT DONE, NO MATTER HOW”—there was no misguiding anywhere. So guest #41 please do not assume this program was doing anything wrong. Guest # 39- The new coach that will be hired will be able to walk into a great group of men that have been doing everything right to take a team to a National Level under the direction of their great coaching staff. These men are currently keeping up with training, community service and dedication to the sport they love. They will stick together just to spite the actions of the leadership at UW Whitewater. I just hope the new coach is not treated the way Coach Fader was. As a parent I am very glad my son has had a role model like Coach Fader and Heilman. They do what is morally right. Maybe others should of done this - and this forum would not even exist. |
