Interesting. I had heard prior to this that he was also interested in the open position at Evergreen Valley.
Interesting to hire a coach that was found to have used performance enhancing drugs. Alvin was extremely talented and it was a shame to see that he used PEDs. True, he served his ban and we should give people another chance. I just wonder what the parents at Gilroy HS think or if they/the AD are aware. Any thoughts from others?
They are aware as stated in the article. He had other issues made public as well when living in Salinas that I don't think should be aired on a forum. People change, and if he preaches that they need to learn from his mistakes than good for him.
The truth is all his medals should have been taken away, I think that would be a better lesson for the kids but that was up to the IAAF.
Many coaches have issues that are not made public, and for that reason I think he is fine as long as he is humble about how a great athlete was swept up into the darkest aspect of our sport by greed, ego and hunger to win at all coasts. These are the opposite of what a high school program should be teaching. T
Being a Head Coach has a lot more to it than just coaching. We'll see how it goes, I wish him the best!
