Dunno if he is guilty or not But I can tell you that reimbursing equipment for 29K has to, or should, violate just about every school district policy / good accounting policy there is. Purchases of any significant size should be handled by the school or school district, purchase orders, etc. Someone besides this coach needs to answer some questions.


Most parishes if not all still send out paper stubs on Michael Scott level paper. They need more than policies.

Dude is a dirt bag for stealing the $29K but not as bad as this POS. Arab football coach fired for sending obscene photos to male student.

Heads should roll. Lack of control. Fire whoever is above him.

Yes, seeing as how it is a synopsis from a movie and not the Sopranos.

Brah, I've watched HS baseball back to Wade Leblanc pitching for Barbe in the 5A tournament. I've seen my share of "studs" who for one reason or another never made it. I've also seen MLB talent in HS and they absolutely deliver, every time.

I've seen Gavin Guidry, Josh Pearson, Jake Brown, all on LSU's roster in HS and they dominated. It's questionable, but not impossible for any of the 3 to play in the MiLB.

So you might want to slow your roll on how good you think these Walker cats are. I'll take your word that they're talented.

Odd that they have a higher threshold of felony theft at $25,000. I guess Biden's inflation has caused higher numbers to be thrown out there now.
Did this guy play at Tulane by the way?

It was tongue-in-cheek. I didn't think it was literally from the Sopranos. I also didn't know it was taken from a movie so there's that.

Played at Nicholls. For those around my age: may or may not have been one of the guys who ran Weekend Schemers that was a thing around 10 years back.

"I enjoy stealing, it's just as simple as that.... When I want something and I don't want to pay for it... I just walk right through the door and submit fake invoices to get reimbursed. Yeah my pitching coach he's one too... He got some oakleys for me.... "

submitting multiple invoices for reimbursement on equipment that he purchased for the baseball program. The total amount that was reimbursed was over 29K.


How behind is Walker in how they handle their sports financials. Standard procedure even 10 years ago when I was coaching in HS was as follows

1. Get quote
2. Get purchase order from financial person signed by Principal
3. Use PO to order equipment
4. Equipment arrives with bill
5. Give bill to financial person and they mail a check to company
6. Company confirms payment received and emails receipt.

Why are they called "coaches" at the HS / college baseball level and "manangers" at the professional level?


Because players at that level actually need to be coached. Professional players are already finished product that need to be managed
