I appreciate the additional reference, and you're reading what you want to read. The only entity alleging a specific amount of money was taken--$40,000--is U of L. In fact, it clearly says that...
"Floyd Central Principal Rob Willman said in an email that Sharp resigned from his coaching position several weeks ago. He said it is not the school's policy to discuss staffing matters..."
A policy by the way, that U of L could also be invoking except that they wanted to publicize their allegations why Sharp was fired.
So, he was not FIRED from Floyd Central nor do we know what Sharp resigned over except what he's telling you. The "bookkeeper" comment he made to WAVE 3 was immediately after allegations about what went on at Floyd Central.
As we both acknowledge, U of L's not telling him anything except that he was fired over a missing $40K. Why would Sharp and his attorney admit "bookkeeping" was a U of L issue with no supporting info? (Because that's not what his comment refers to...)
And the fact that the police were involved in the U of L investigation over $40,000 further supports his position since they haven't filed any criminal charges, i.e., "nothing here." Can you produce a copy of his termination letter, and was it endorsed by the police?
Not having seen it, I doubt it...
