AN ASSISTANT basketball coach at Archbishop Wood High School was fired last night because of alleged involvement in last Thursday’s savage attack on two gay men in Center City.
The coach, identified by a source close to the team as Fran McGlinn, had been “serving as a coach on a contract basis,” said Kenneth Gavin, a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
McGlinn, 25, along with several other former Wood students, allegedly participated in the attack on a gay couple as the men were walking near Rittenhouse Square.
“He was terminated this evening and will not be permitted to coach in any archdiocesan school,” Gavin said. “We expect all those who work with students in our schools to model appropriate Christian behavior at all times.”
