Genovesi out as Robinson baseball coach, teacher

Not only will embattled Robinson baseball coach Brandon Genovesi not be back to coach the Knights, but he will not be able to be a teacher in Hillsborough County Public Schools, a district spokesman said Wednesday.

Robinson principal Laura Savatkay has told Genovesi he will not return as head baseball coach and will no longer be able to teach in the district, district spokesperson Linda Cobbe said. The moves come after the district launched a professional standards investigation into the coach after Genovesi was suspended for allegedly having a physical confrontation with a student in a classroom about a month ago.

That guy couldn't even control his team from Hillsborough. Keep him out of Pinellas.
