“At a Board meeting, the Coach stated the following specific reasons for his resignation, lack of trust from the players, player’s refusal to abide by his instruction, divisions in the playing body, lack of corporation from the players and his inability to turn the situation around.

Their position was Favoritism by the head Coach, fielding his favorite players even if they were injured, lack of unity in the team and failure by the head coach to maintain the winning team.

The players went on to say that consequence to the above behavior and conduct of the Head Coach, they felt nervous playing and were generally not happy.
