confirmed – Cal coach Barry Weiner retires

There was some hope that the excellent University California Berkeley men’s gymnastics coach might stay. I hoped.

But Tuesday, June 29th Barry announced his resignation.

… “I’m very proud of the work we have done over the last 20 years here at Cal – not just the great teams and champions, but I’m proud of all the great people who have left their mark,” Weiner said. “Mostly, I am proud of the contributions that our student-athletes have made and continue to make in all walks of life. I have been very fortunate to have spent 19 great years coaching at Cal. I am going to miss working with all of the great kids and people who make up the Cal community.” …

I’ve written a letter to the Chancellor of the University in support of the Men’s team. … But I have to tell you, I’m much less optimistic about the fight now that Barry is gone.
