Brandon MacInnis says he is overwhelmed by the community support that continues to pour in since word broke in February that he was fired from his volunteer coaching role at Hantsport School. - ContributedHANTSPORT, N.S. — Nearly three weeks after a volunteer basketball coach was abruptly fired from Hantsport School, the demand for answers and accountability has not died down.Now, an online petition has been launched, further highlighting the community’s need for answers.
The letter confirms the decision was made by the Hantsport School administrators, who believed “it to be in the best interest of the team” — a decision that was supported by the AVRCE. “I created the petition as a concerned parent in attempt to end some of the speculation that was being posted on social media and to add visibility of the community support behind Brandon,” said Webster.
This season, he coached her youngest son, Mason, at Hantsport School and is still coaching her oldest son, Jackson, with the under-16 Valley Spartans. Josh Spencer served as the team’s assistant coach. Like MacInnis, he was blindsided by what transpired. Spencer has known MacInnis since they were children playing basketball. They grew up in Hantsport, and MacInnis’ father coached him.“I don't even have kids on the team. I volunteered my time to be with Brandon and to support these boys throughout the year,” said Spencer, noting he’s frustrated by what transpired.“He’s very fair with the kids. Everyone got playing time; everyone played throughout each game.
