Theodore Marcus, one of the figures in the Riverbend High School swim team scandal, spoke at the January 8, 2024, school board meeting supporting swim team head coach Rachel Adriani. Video link below.

Around December 20, Adriani removed a student from the swim team on a false accusation. On January 4, the school administration announced that Adriani’s accusation was false and unfounded. On January 8, Marcus speaks at a school board meeting wanting Adriani to be reinstated as the Head Coach for the swim team. We covered this timeline in previous articles below.

We think Coach Theo and Coach Adriani are weirdos. Why? We believe that this entire situation is a form of emotional abuse on a child. Think about it. A coach throws a child off a team based on a false accusation. None of the coaches apologize. Theo publicly supports the very coach that made the false accusation. Then, Adriani is reinstated as swim team coach? That is just weird. What’s even more weird is that Superintendent Guempel and the board majority are condoning this.
