B’ville has an excellent young athletic director and all their sports teams have really become a force to reckon with.

Serious question - why would B-ville hire him? Everybody deserves a second chance, but would they hire a teacher who was fired for sexual misconduct/harassment at their previous job?

You mean Beilein, not the AD. Wasn’t it an affair and he resigned? No excuses, it was wrong but from what I recall, a consensual affair at Niagara where he was the men’s coach and he was married. Could be wrong but that’s what I recall at least.

Is that inside info, a rumor or you’re just misremembering? There’s never been any report that Patrick was fired for sexual misconduct or harassment.

He’s been there around 10 years now I believe - they had to have hired him when he was barely over 30 too.

I don’t know what happened with Eric Devendorf and his high school coaching gig but I’m assuming it was due to his past, again I’m assuming, that said, I agree how can a high school hire him? Makes zero sense.
I’m not saying the guy should serve a life sentence but high school doesn’t seem like it should be the spot.

I always thought it was unwanted harassment. If it was an affair why would you resign and have to take a high school job?

Yes, he resigned due to "personal reasons". But I believe it had to do with a coach or staff member's wife that he was pursuing. A very touchy subject for a school like Niagara. I always thought he would end up on the staff of a college coach or working for an NBA team in scouting or player development.
Patrick Beilein, son of John Beilein, resigns as Niagara head coach for 'personal reasons'
Patrick Beilein stepped down as head coach at Niagara just seven months after taking the job, citing "personal reasons."
www.usatoday.com
I don't believe it was consensual at all. He was in a position of authority and she was in a relationship with a ass't coach. There were rumors about Pat at LeMoyne. No high school should have hired him. If it was consensual, I don't believe we would have heard about it. I believe it was the woman who complained.

Yes the employee filed a complaint. And the boyfriend asst coach and the staffer knew Pat for years. And yes there were problems with Beilein at LeMoyne. The LeMoyne part I'm quite sure of.

I mean….yeah. But…cmon.
Rising stars his age don’t suddenly leave a rocket ship coaching trajectory to go anonymous for a few years and resurface at a solid but not spectacular HS program because it’s God’s plan.

He likely won't serve as a teacher, just a coach.

Sorry for the confusion. I wasn't stating that Beilein was going to teach.
My point was that the district would never hire a teacher who had to resign because they otherwise were going to be fired for sexual harassment. So why would they hire a basketball coach who had to resign because they otherwise were going to be fired for sexual harassment?

I had not heard or read anything about harassment or misconduct and that he was fired. So I wanted to know where the poster was coming from.

None of the answers above got him fired, nor did his multiple affairs while the head coach at LeMoyne…..

This. He's young and probably (I don't know the nitty gritty specifics, nor do I know what he's done to make amends) deserves a second shot at some point, but a public high school, with a taxpayer funded stipend, is not the place. A leader of young men should not be coming in with that kind of rep/past.

He wasn't fired from Niagara (he resigned) but he would have been. He was not taking "no" for an answer from the staffer he was harassing. Even worse, her significant other was a long time friend of Beilein's who he hired as an assistant.
There were complaints about him at LeMoyne, but he took his act onto a bigger stage before anything was made public.
