UT has fired JT today, after 23 years of leading the Vols. The AD gave the reason as "gross misconduct."
www.swiminfo.com has the story.
JT has coached Melvin Stewart, Jeremy Linn, Tripp Schwenk and others to olympic medals in his yeas as a coach.
JT was the head coach of the swim camp I attended as a kid (held at Mercersberg Academy in Pennsylvania). He was a great camp leader and told the best stories. He also had the biggest calf muscles I have ever seen in my life. He taught me to always dry my ears and start every day by thinking "It's a beautiful day. It's great to be alive." I learned a lot about swimming from him and hold him in high regard.
This is a shame. I wonder what happened.
