Here is probably what happened.

Old Coach: This kid is a fucking prick.

Kid: That's abusive

School Board: Yeah kid, you're probably right. We won't make that guy coach you again

New Coach: This kid is a fucking prick. I'm cutting him.

Mom: I'm suing.



More than likely it went like this:

KID: Taught from birth that kindness is the highest value and harsh words are violence.

COACH: Is unkind and uses harsh words in his effort to mold a winning team.

KID: Coach was unkind and violent toward me.

SCHOOL BOARD: Yes he was.

NEW COACH: Fuck that kid.

MOM: I'm suing.

The school board guy is a good guy, pretty level-headed. Went to school with him. But I wish he'd just explain in a little more detail about what the coach did. So weird that he only got demoted, not simply removed from coaching or fired as a coach and teacher.

The new coach is incredibly immature or out of touch. The kid's a star player. Basically, what billypootons said.

JORR you are telling on yourself. But then you actually read the article. This is all very confusing.

This is a good example of why they should just open up the transfer portal and let kids go where they want to go. Fuck these coaches and administrators.

This kid is back on the team. I saw him last year. He is a solid player. Plus this is Hinsdale South, not a bastion of D1 level talent.

On May 7, Savage filed a complaint with the school board against Moretti, alleging verbal abuse, bullying and humiliation.

On June 14, the school district responded with a letter from acting superintendent Chris Covino to Savage. It said an investigation determined ‘‘the preponderance of the evidence does not substantiate that Mr. Moretti bullied your son in violation of Board Policy.’’

The letter went on to say that ‘‘the investigation did substantiate that Mr. Moretti’s interactions and communication with your son have been inappropriate and inconsistent with the high standards of professionalism expected of all employees under Board Policy. . . . Further, please be advised that the District does not tolerate any form of retaliation because you have made this complaint.’’



You can’t put “we won’t tolerate any kind of retaliation” in your letter and then immediately retaliate by cutting the kid. Even the least helicoptery parent in the world would make a stink when it happened.

Have you guys read the story? The kid got the previous coach demoted by complaining about what the school board admitted was the coach's inappropriate behavior. That being the case, I'm not sure why the guy is still allowed to coach at all. Regardless, it seems pretty clear the coach's assistant who is now the head coach is retaliating against the kid.

Is the coach a member of the Hinsdale South faculty? I know somebody who applied for the job about 3-4 years ago and pulled his name from consideration when he found out that they wouldn't include a lateral teaching position from what he had at another high school (where he wasn't coaching any more).

Brendan Savage, the Hinsdale South senior whose mother sued to get him back on the basketball team, played in his first game of the season Friday at Downers Grove South.

Savage received the full high school basketball experience. Mustangs fans booed him when he first checked in with three minutes left in the first quarter. He was the first player off the bench for the Hornets.

When he checked in for the second time, the Downers Grove South fans chanted “mama’s boy” briefly.

Thanks mom

I mean that was the obvious conclusion. Was probably fun for the school. Kick the kid they didn’t like off the team knowing that his mom is litigious. Wait for her to file suit then put the kid back on the team so everyone hates him and he leaves on his own.

Would the Hinsdale Township School Board remove Hinsdale South basketball coach Michael Belcaster from his job? Or bend to the will of the 17 players, parents and community members who spoke on Belcaster’s behalf, pleading with the board to let him stay on?

After deliberating in a closed session for an hour, the board announced Belcaster would be allowed to stay in his job until the end of the season. The players celebrated wildly and the crowd cheered. One woman asked the board if they would apologize to Belcaster, elicting an “excuse me?” from school board president Catherine Greenspon.

“I’m just grateful to have him back and basketball being the main focus again,” Hinsdale South junior Jack Weigus said. “I hope we made the difference and that hearing from us made them understand that [Belcaster] has the players and the community supporting him.”

Belcaster wasn’t at practice Monday, apparently suspended by the school board. It’s unknown why the board decided to debate Belcaster’s future at this time.

Controversy swirled around the basketball program two months ago when Erin Savage, the mother of basketball player Brendan Savage, sued the school district and several employees after her son was cut from the team after tryouts.

The lawsuit was filed Nov. 22 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. It alleged that Belcaster cut Savage after tryouts in retaliation for the family having filed a complaint with the school district, alleging verbal abuse and bullying by previous coach Michael Moretti.

Belcaster was the sophomore coach under Moretti last season.

“I’ve never filed a lawsuit before,” Erin Savage told the Sun-Times in November. “Our six kids have been involved in approximately 31 varsity sports at the high school. I’ve never complained about a coach. But we’ve also never encountered [someone] who thinks he can do whatever he wants. That was [Moretti].”

Several days after the lawsuit was filed, the school board held a special meeting and put Savage on the varsity basketball team. The school district has never released a statement on the matter. A school district spokesperson said the district doesn’t comment on legal matters.

The lawsuit is still pending. According to sources, the district is hoping to settle with the Savages.

Coach should be immune unless he's impeached
Sounds like he was impeached.

Hinsdale South has fired boys basketball coach Michael Belcaster, according to multiple sources.

Belcaster was placed on administrative leave by the Hinsdale Township High School District 86 Board of Education in January, but then was reinstated after most of the team’s players and many parents spoke out on his behalf.

The school district has year-to-year contracts with all of its coaches.

“Thank you for reaching out,” Belcaster said via text Wednesday morning. “Unfortunately, I’m not at liberty to speak on this at this time. I will reach out when able.”
