Investigation of CMS (Former?) Coach Continues

I've already blogged about CMS coach, Morgan Coberly, but there have been recent development. Coberly, who is pictured above, is facing an investigation that he acted "inappropriately" with a high school player while he served as a volleyball coach at the Bonita United School District. He has already left his teaching position with the district.

Much of the press has been reporting that Coberly is still working for CMS, but I contacted Michael Sutton, director of Director of Athletics & Physical Education, who informs me that he hasn't been with the coaching staff since 2006. I haven't been able to ascertain which statement is accurate.

We do not yet know what "inappropriate" means and as such, we're going to cut down speculation, but the accusations are troubling, to say the least.

Here is what the local press, The Pasadena Star News, has been reporting most recently.

Investigation of coach continues

LA VERNE - Police are continuing their investigation into a Bonita High School girls volleyball coach accused of inappropriate behavior with a player, a lieutenant said Tuesday.

Morgan Coberly, who served as a volleyball coach at the school for more than five years, left Bonita Unified School District in late April.

Coberly of La Verne has denied allegations.

La Verne police Lt. Jim Strona declined to release further details about the ongoing investigation, citing department policy.

Coberly is also a coach in the combined athletics departments of Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, and Scripps colleges, as well as a La Verne-based private volleyball league.

School district

Assistant Superintendent of Human Resource Development William Brinegar said the district does not comment on any ongoing investigations or personnel matters involving current or former employees.
