Community meets on firing of Olympia coach

By MyNorthwest.com staff

Parents, former players and community members upset about the firing of an Olympia boys basketball coach went before a meeting of the district’s school board Monday.

Doug Galloway, the head coach at Capital High School, was fired after an alleged “hazing” incident that occurred while the team was at a summer camp.

The first person to speak during public comment was the mother of a girls basketball player. She told the board she showed up because it was “so rare” for her to be on the same side of an issue as Dori Monson.
