There was a thread titled earlier today: "Pete Dolan let go at UCSB (who was coaching
there for 25+ years)! Drama, drama out in southern California"
with the post:
I don't think there has been an official announcement, but you can mark my words that Pete Dolan has been let go at UCSB. Wow!!
However we have received an email from Mr Dolan's lawyer, Daniel J. Kolodziej of Trygstad Schwab & Trygstad, saying in part:
"I am counsel for Pete Dolan, head coach for UCSB’s Track & Field/Cross Country program. Thus, I have personal knowledge of the fact that Mr. Dolan remains an employee and the head coach for UCSB. I cannot speak to any other matters regarding Mr. Dolan at this time, but I would appreciate your assistance to remove the posts at the new thread that has started today "Pete Dolan let go at UCSB (who was coaching there for 25+ years)! Drama, drama out in southern California ." It is causing inaccurate and defamatory information about Mr. Dolan to be circulated through your prominent and otherwise quite respectable publication/site. We appreciate your support of running and athletics in general, and hope you can ensure that the integrity of Mr. Dolan and any ongoing matters that concern him are properly discussed, without false conjecture and speculation, within your public forum."
Since the email is disputing a fact from an anonymous poster and the lawyer is an insider who should know whether Mr. Dolan remains the coach at UCSB we are removing the thread. We have long said if you can factually prove something isn't the case we will remove it. So we are doing that in this case and making this thread so only registered users can post.

Athletes at UCSB have told me that they haven’t seen Dolan in months. And why has he hired a lawyer? Clearly he’s watching LetsRun like a hawk. This guy is finished. Next topic.
