Why did Jenks Oklahoma High School coach Allan Trimble suspend himself?
Tulsa (Okla.) Jenks, the No. 24 team in the RivalsHigh 100, will be without its coach for the rest of the season. Allan Trimble – who has led the Trojans to nine state titles in his 12 years – has imposed a self-suspension for the remainder of the season, school superintendent Kirby Lehman said. “He has not resigned, has not been asked to resign and resignation was never discussed,” Lehman told the Tulsa World. Trimble’s self-suspension coincided with the suspension of two other members of the Jenks athletic staff. The suspensions have occurred in the wake of the Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association’s ruling that Jenks must forfeit nine wins from the 2008 season. The other suspended staff members were athletic director Tony Dillingham for 15 days and assistant coach David Alexander for two games. Following the suspension, Dillingham submitted his resignation. The Board of Education has yet to accept the resignation, but could do so anytime between now and June 30, 2010. The
