What is the name of your state? VA
OK I need a little advice, and Im hoping I can get it here. I coached my step-sons basketball team last year and was planning coach again this year. His mother and I do not get along at all, and she is now on the board at the local Recreation Club where coaches are chosen. The process here is that they , being the officials of the club vote between themselves who will coach. My husbands ex-wife first of all has been spreading lies to all the parents, and being her friends of course they all believe her. I went to the try outs the other night to see if I had been chosen to coach, they said I hadnt and that I should ask one of the others if I could assist, so I did. The coach said he would be happy to have me assist him. I thought all was settled and I would be helping out with my step-sons team. Three days later I got a call from the coach saying that Trina (the Rec club president) had called him saying that they decided that I couldnt coach. I called her and was told that they had decided that I couldnt coach and that it was in the minutes at the rec club that I was never allowed to coach again. When I asked why this was done they responded by saying that an incident with soccer occured and that I could never coach again. The only problem with that is that I never coached soccer my husband did. They are simply using this as an excuse to keep their friend (ex wife) happy. I went above their heads to the Director of the Club and he pretty much told me that it was Trinas decision and they backed whatever she and the others decided. The only problem with that is there is no reason besides the fact that they dont like me because of lies told by the ex wife that I cant coach. I have no record of any kind, I wasnt involved in the incident with soccer, and I coached last year, and had no trouble or problems at all. I feel that I have been discriminated against because these women are friends with the ex wife, and abusing their power to make her happy. PLease if anyone can tell me what if anything I can do about this I would greatly appreciate it, its not right and i dont want anyone else to ever have to go throught his kind of humiliation, just because they are disliked by one person that has turned everyone else against them.
