EXCERPT:
Tommy Whiteman has resigned from his position as head baseball coach at the Texas Home Educators Sports Association (THESA) after it came to light that he is a registered sex offender. Whiteman is 46 years old, and the fact that he is a sex offender was not mentioned to parents at any point during his time with the organization.
Before his resignation, THESA made every parent sign a waiver agreeing to Whiteman’s leadership if they wanted their child to play on the team. The waiver did not mention his conviction. When THESA Board President Daryn Eudaly announced the resignation to families on April 7, the message said he left due to “operational challenges.”
According to Brobible, the board thanked Whiteman for his dedication and asked families to pray for him, without ever bringing up his legal history. Whiteman is a former professional athlete who played seven seasons in the Minor Leagues after being drafted by the Houston Astros in 2000.
