Now, in his particular case, when he turned up at that school, several of us notified the school's officials of the unique background of the guy they're hiring. But he's a the friend of a major league playing millionaire kid and his dad who rebuilt the school's ballpark, so that connection makes everything irrelevant to the school.

I find it impossible to believe that a school would hire such a guy as you describe, further impossible to believe that parents would allow their children to play for him and lastly, impossible to believe an umpire who knows all of this to be true and would ignore and umpire a game for this school.
this guy would get his a** whipped around here for showing his face, much less coaching.
