Lincoln’s Fate Up To Eldon School Board

Eldon’s School Board spent 9-hours last night hearing testimony and reviewing evidence in a termination hearing for Eldon High Boys Basketball Coach Jimmy Lincoln. There are six allegations against Lincoln, including a claim he elbowed an opposing player at the end of a summer shootout game in early June at School of the Osage. Lincoln, who has been the boys’ basketball coach at Eldon for the past three seasons, denied it. Lincoln admitted cursing during the game, including at a referee. The Board has until Friday to decide if they want to keep Lincoln or remove him for unsportsmanlike conduct.
