Member Tsung asked about the title Mr. Hill listed on his application, "associate head coach/offensive coordinator." Superintendent Murphy explained that the Board of Education only officially hires under the title of "assistant coach" as listed in the extra-duty schedule of the teacher contract. However, Athletic Director Rick Moss can list different titles on publications depending on the responsibilities, such as "Freshman Coach, Defensive Coordinator, etc." Member King expressed the need for Athletic Director Rick Moss to meet with the coaches to ensure that the expectations were clear. Superintendent Murphy acknowledged a time over ten years ago when there was a miscommunication that resulted in a conflict, and indicated that he would review the matter with Athletic Director Rick Moss.
