There’s so much nonsense here, I don’t even know where to start…

Nothing you said proved anything wrong, because there was nothing to be proven wrong. Swing and a miss. Try again. 

Welcome to the site, Rookie. Do better. ?

It appears as if they are going to get an explanation from the diocese, based off publicly shining the light on this issue, and his little brother('s play) seems to be unaffected by his going about the issue.

 

Those 2 clearly proved your post (see highlighted portion) wrong, no?

Not the highlights… ???

When did I make that post? When was there a meeting?

Did I say the brothers play had been affected?

According to Bluegrasspreps.com, in this forum on page 16, you made the post on Monday February 10th at 2:02pm.

According to Nick's video, the Diocese set a meeting. The date of said meeting seems not to have happened yet, as Nick said he will stop posting until after the meeting. So, maybe in the next few weeks or something the meeting will take place. I guess we will know when he begins posting about the topic again.

You did not, sir or madam. You said he was creating a negative environment and 'may be in the worst spot of anyone.' 

 

Call me crazy, but usually 17 year olds don't perform well on the basketball court when they are in a negative environment or in the worst spot of anyone. Just my opinion, but what do I know.

So what you’re saying is, at the time of my post that you originally quoted, there was no meeting scheduled, and I never made a single comment about the brothers play on the court… Correct?

1. I am saying that your comment regarding "CLEARLY not the path" was too soon.

2. I must have misunderstood your comment about the brother. I didn't know you were that when you referred to a "negative environment and 'may be in the worst spot of anyone'" that you weren't talking about basketball, on this High School Sports website. My apologies for the lack of understanding.

 

 

But, if it makes you feel better about this topic (that you have no dog in the fight for) then sure.

This thread has been going for a month. You can only say my opinion was "too soon" because a new post surfaced the day after...

I'm not sure why you would assume my comments about the brother were related to basketball. That's just what you wanted to read.

Yes, I can and I did. 

That's why I apologized, sir or madam. I stand by my point though, that if a 17 year kid is in a "negative environment and 'may be in the worst spot of anyone'" (in whatever context you were referring to) he probably wouldn't perform well like that on the basketball court. Just my opinion. You do not have to accept it.

Plenty of people on all levels play through tough situations. Him playing well is a testament to his athletic ability and focus. He should be commended for it. 

None of that changes my opinion that it's likely a tough situation for him.

Fair enough ? 

 

Best of luck in your endeavors! See you on the other side after the meeting happens and Nick posts on FB again ?

I'm pretty sure the list with Bryan's name on it was produced by the Diocese as requirement put forth by the court system in the clergy abuse scandal settlement process. Koplyay is the head of HR and personnel for the Diocese so his name would have been attached to that list in some way, but the list itself was assembled by consultants from the FBI who were brought in to review all Diocesan files and establish who did and who didn't have substantiated abuse claims against them. So yeah you can link the list to Koplyay but that's because there was a court order that said Diocesan HR had to produce the list and he was the man in charge of HR.

Your explanation of that list is pretty accurate.  That being said what people are getting to see is how the Diocese truly operates.  The schools are supposed to be able to hire the teachers, administrators, coaches, etc that they want.  The Diocese has spent decades blocking hires for a multitude of their "own" reasons.   Also, they have forced dismissals of principals and teachers even when the school and the parish and the pastor are happy with performance.  And as you said "he is the man in charge of HR."  The Diocese meddling in a Hall of Fame induction?  Yeah it makes sense because they meddle in numerous decisions the schools make but always want to keep up the facade that they are hands off and let the schools run themselves as they see fit.  In my head I don't think my problem is that the interfere A LOT but that they interfere in a "cloak and dagger" way and don't want the perception that they are.  My thought is that if you are central office and you want something done then own it and say I am in charge and we are doing this.  The private school principals in the Diocese of Covington are put in really tough spots and of course make about 60% what a public school principal makes.

That is a question for the Bishop. 

Next time I go to confession I will ask.

In Nick Ruthatz’s last video it looks like he is stranded on a desert island lol.  Also, why are none of the Cincinnati/NKY media people covering this?  I feel like a a head coach who won two state titles and is the all-time winningest coach at school as high profile as CovCath getting selected then removed for the Hall of Fame is pretty newsworthy.  Where is some investigative reporting when you need it?

May be wrong, but I believe Nick lives in Florida. 
 

Good question regarding media....is the media afraid to go after CCH / Diocese? Just a question, not implying or insinuating anything.  I haven't lived in NKY since before the Sandmann deal, and from afar it seems CovCath is far more buttoned up than they used to be. 
 

Perhaps the Ruthsatz / Diocese meeting will reveal more, whenever it is to occur. 

Has Scott been coming to any of his son’s games?

I have heard that he is attending.
