Beaumont Chapter Football Officials Association Present: Pres. Gary Downey, 1st VP John Ballard, 2nd VP Greg Peveto,
Sec/Tr. Geoff Kret, M/L Will McDonald, Div. 1 Rep Bob Wortham, Div. 2 Rep John
Payton, Div. 3 Rep. Mike Defee, Div. 4 Rep Greg Sims, Div. 5 Rep James Roberson Absent: No non-elected members of the board were in attendance. The Board of Directors of the Beaumont Chapter met after the regular chapter meeting on 22 Oct 2001. Initial discussion of the board was about the scratches being experienced. The main point of business was to brief the special committee on the complaint placed by Coach Dan Hooks of West Orange-Stark regarding actions of Mr. Gene Watkins in a WO-S at PN-G junior varsity football game on 11 Oct 2001. The complaint centered on remarks made by Mr. Watkins to the JV coaching staff and the touching of one coach in the chest with his finger. Mr. Hooks was not present at the game, but stated that his coaching staff was upset and not able to defend themselves due to UIL emphasis on behavior of sub-varsity coaches. It is not in dispute that Mr. Watkins assessed two Unsportsmanlike Conduct fouls against the WO-S bench just prior to the actions under complaint. Coach Hooks filed his complaint on Monday, October 12, by telephone with the Chapter Secretary and also by e-mail with the Chapter President. The final point of business was to consider support for an expected proposal
to amend the By-Laws to officially revise the crew make-up notification deadline
date. It was agreed that the date should be moved back in the year to match real
practice, but still allow June and July for the secretary to assemble the
coaches packets for the pickings. Geoffrey Kret, Secretary |
