AD Defends Decision to Sideline Coach over Language

Paul Steinbach Headshot

Red River High School in Grand Forks, N.D., placed decorated boys' hockey coach Bill Chase on leave last week for "conduct unbecoming and unfitting of a high school coach, including a history [of] derogatory, demeaning, and intimidating language," according to documents obtained by the Grand Forks Herald through an open records request.

In his 10th season as head coach, Chase has led Red River to state championships in 2011, 2013 and 2016 — the latter title capping a 27-0 season, only the second undefeated season in state history. That year, he was named the All-USA boys hockey national Coach of the Year by USA Today.
