Most organizations are tax exempt under 501c3 status. Under the law a 501c3 must have a board of directors and the president can not be the treasure. Do organizations not know this or are the choosing to ignore it? I know most parents wouldn't know this, but parents need to be asking questions of the coaches\organization directors and if they are not answered straight up I'd be concerned. Financial statements should be available when asked for.

I just can't figure out how anyone could do this???????
The big kicker is most teams never have very much in their accounts to begin with.........Usually as soon as it comes in, it goes right back out.......
So how where 6 teams able to run for 3 years with $$$ being taken from them? On average that is $3000 from each team each season...........How much were these teams bringing in, for them to be able to keep going till now?
The way I understand it - (And if anyone knows more detail please correct me)
It started innocently enough. "Oh crap I don't have any cash on me for gas, Oh well I'll use the Club Bank card" and it was so easy to use it and pay it back the using got more and paying back got less
Really ??? There is no excuse for what happened. So he has the organizations Debit card with but not his own ? I have heard many stories ...At 1st I thought it was just miss management , trying to grow to big to fast. But I'm sorry $50,000 in hole in less than 4 years ...I know for a fact many were aware of issues last year. Here is just a couple of things I have heard :
Some Coaches had to pay for uniforms last year with there own money
14 u team showed up for world series , and fees were not paid ...parents had to scramble and pay when they got there
Hempfield rec owed money
Youngwood owed money
U$$$A owed money
Hot shots owed money
Field dry supplier owed money
Tried to overcharge parents 2-3 the actual amount for a Ginny Fitch clinic
Cash bash $$$$ , misspent / pocketed
Again this is what I heard , I have no supporting facts ...My DD has not played for this organization , but many of her friends got burned . Big time ...If you can please donate $10.00 to 25.00 on the go fund me site to help the girls play this summer that would help.

I am in no way excusing what he did - I'm saying the way the money was organized should NEVER happen. You should never have one person un-checked handeling money - because BAD things happen.
He is a Sifor and a creep for giving in to the temptation and deserves all the punishment, Humiliation and shame he gets.
My only point was meant as a warning to other Organizations not to allow anyone to handle money without accountability and oversite because it is easy to be corrupted in that situation.

WOW!! I am just speechless...he was my my DD's coach for the most recent QDN at Kent State this past January. Seemed like a very genuine and honest person in the short period of time we spent with him that weekend
WOW!! I am just speechless...he was my my DD's coach for the most recent QDN at Kent State this past January. Seemed like a very genuine and honest person in the short period of time we spent with him that weekend. As a matter of fact she was considering signing up for QDS and we wanted him to be her coach for that as well. Perhaps there is more going on that what the news article has interpreted?? The media is infamous for leaving out big details and in turn can often misinterpret the real situation.
