In breaking news from the MSHSL – The coaches under suspension from the MSHSL for actions at the state tournament AAA kick awards ceremony will have new terms for their penalties as of Friday, October 2nd. While there has been no official statement from the league as of now, mnhsdanceteam.com has confirmed from parties directly involved that a new compromise has been reached for the 2015-16 season. Suspended head coaches will now be allowed access to their teams including, practice, choreography, team events, and coaching responsibilities. Coaches will not be allowed to participate in meets including bus rides, coaching from the soundtable, awards ceremonies, and the like. Post season preparation (practices) and sections/state events will also not be allowed following the conclusion of the regular invitational season.
Circumstances and conditions leading to this change are not made public at this time, and we’ll look for statements from the league regarding exact terms and factors leading to this change. While I consider this information to be credible, again, it is not an official release from the league at this time. I’ll be sure to update you when we hear more from official channels.
