So, trying to clear some of the fog.... Brandon Marcello https://twitter.com/bmarcello13/media was the culprit? Then the whole coaching staff was fired except for the head coach Rittman (who now is an assistant at Kansas), Rittman quit before being fired. Now, a group wants Rittman reinstated(how do you get reinstated if you quit?) And Muir(the AD) is accused of not handing the situation properly, basically He didn't have His coaching staff's back during a feud with a group of parents.
Does that sound about right?
It's hard to think Rittman hit the door running and left His coaching staff in the dust without a good reason, whether it's self preservation or distancing. I feel bad for the players that just wanna play ball and NOT get caught up in a scandal(real or imagined).

Once again you are totally clueless. Please read all the information. He was the Director of Sports Performance, a bit more than just a trainer.
Dr. Brandon Marcello was named the Director of Sports Performance at Stanford University in December of 2007. His role is to oversee all aspects of athletic performance enhancement for the 35 intercollegiate sports. Acting as the chief administrator for the Sports Performance department, Marcello's responsibilities include, but are not limited to, budget oversight, facility design and equipment layout, nutritional strategies, staff development, and to direct methodology. Marcello brings over 14 years of experience in the area of athletic performance enhancement to the Farm. Marcello most recently served as the Director of Performance for USA Softball. Hand picked by Coach Mike Candrea, Marcello developed and implemented all athletic development programs for the 2008 Silver Medal US Olympic Softball team, 2007 Gold Medal Pan American team and 2006 Gold Medal World Championship team. Prior to his arrival at Stanford, Marcello served as the Speed and Conditioning Coach for the Baylor University Women's Softball Team. Under his guidance, the Bears set the Big 12 stolen base record and achieved over 550 stolen bases for four consecutive years. During his tenure at Baylor, the Lady Bears produced three NSCA Strength and Conditioning All-Americans, won their first Big 12 title and made their first appearance in the NCAA Women's College World Series.
