If these kids disability does inhibit their basketball ability, then I think the fault should be placed on the DA coach, not on the Cambridge coach.
There is no "mercy" rule in Girl's basketball that says they have to stop the game if the score is being run up, so it wasn't like the coach broke any rules.
Being a douchebag is one thing, but getting fired for doing his job is another.

Something else comes to mind also, part of his job as coach may also go along with what the school decides to do.
It's a possibility that his firing was a result of his publicly speaking out against the school's apology on thier website.
How can the school look to be apologetic if the head of the team refuses to go along with the apology?
If both entities are in disagreement over the apology, it's probably worth nothing to give it.
