Coach Fletcher Johnson after going undefeated in league and leading Cordova to the playoffs has been told he is no longer the head coach. Fletch has been coaching at Cordova for 30 years, and is an Alumni of Cordova where he also played. He had just secured a grant to run youth leagues, and as you know has been a key to keeping the Cordova Christmas Classic a popular tournament. He loves his school, he loves the kids, and the community loves him. He is truly hurt by this decision.
Coach Fletch is forced out at Cordova. 30 years of Service.

This is terrible. Fletcher Johnson is one of the real good guys in the coaching industry.
This is the first I've heard of this, but I'm curious what the reasoning was. Unless it is one of those fireable offenses, I can't see the logic behind it.

In this era not many things surprise me but this is one. Terrific guy who really put the kids and community first and won too. Crazy
Another horrendously stupid decision made by school administrators.
Disgusting to hear that news. Fletch is a great man and has given everything for that school and basketball program. Very sad day for local hoops.
It's called the Rialto Rule. State law.
FYI: I am hearing this morning that Fletch has been reinstated.
I want to say thank you for all the support received from everyone, especially the basketball and coaching communities.
I appreciate you "Pass first" as you could see when we spoke a huge part of my life had been shaken up.
"You got to love it"

I can’t believe that they even considered getting rid of Fletch. It just goes to show that the school districts don’t appreciate truly good men
