SPECIAL TO THE MORNING JOURNAL Al McConihe, who spent the last eight seasons as head baseball coach at Amherst, will not be returning, according to Amherst principal Mike Gillam.
When the Amherst baseball team takes the field this spring, its coach won?t be in the dugout.
Al McConihe, who spent the last eight seasons at the helm of the Comets, will not be coaching them this season, according to Amherst principal Mike Gillam.
?It?s a sensitive issue, and I think out of respect for coach McConihe it?s not anything I?m going to get into a lot of detail on,? Gillam said, ?but he will not be coaching this year.?
Gillam said McConihe?s removal was an administrative decision.
?Because it?s a sensitive, personnel issue and out of respect for him I won?t get into specifics, but I think there?s some information that warrants a change in the baseball program,? Gillam added.
McConihe led Amherst to a 19-9 overall record last season, finishing tied for first (10-4) in the Southwestern Conference with Avon Lake, Brecksville-Broadview Heights and Westlake.
The 19 wins were second-most in school history, tying the 1982 Comets team coached by Norris Smith who, this summer will be inducted into the Northeast Ohio Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame Class of 2013.
Two of the three times Amherst won 20 games in its history came under the direction of McConihe, who posted back-to-back 20-win seasons in 2007 and 2008.
McConihe is also a law and government teacher at Amherst.
