Almost three years after his resignation in the wake of the heatstroke death of Jordan McNair, former Maryland football strength and conditioning coach Rick Court has been hired as the coordinator of athletic strength and conditioning for a Michigan school district.
Greenville Public Schools last week announced in a news release the addition of Court to a role that, according to The Daily News, will have him “responsible for promoting athletic development with a year-round, unified and comprehensive strength and performance training program for athletes and athletic teams.”
In the release, the school district noted Court’s time at Maryland but made no mention of the end of his tenure at College Park, a resignation in August 2018 prompted after an ESPN report cited several players, both anonymously and on the record, who criticized Court’s coaching methods.
