One of the premier track coaches in the nation abruptly yanked after 21 years of highly touted service. Something has to be REALLY bad for this to happen (she was nominated for a near doubling of her salary just a few months ago, now she is on the skids)

Supposedly she has been illegally parking in handicapped spots.
Did it say that she has been terminated? So far all I have seen is that she is suspended (noticed Nov 12) and her contract renewal with a huge boost in pay is no longer on the Board's agenda.
Activities and events in the last year or two have made schools preemptively cautious, and I am hoping that is what is going on here.
how do coaches in sports that don't make any money get paid so much?
Sounds like the usual sin of getting a few bucks to the poor kids that the program exploits
She gets paid because she is a minority coach to offset the lack of minorities on the football team.
