Warren County High School principal Anthony Cassel believed Thursday John Dillard was the man to lead the Warren County High School basketball team. His mind didn’t change despite finding out after the announcement of Dillard as coach Thursday that the new Pioneer leader was forced to resign a previous job at McNeese State University after committing NCAA infractions.Cassel released a statement Friday night clarifying the situation and offering his support of the new Pioneer coach.“After an offer to coach at WCHS was extended to John Dillard, Jeff Simmons informed Todd Willmore that coach Dillard was asked to resign at McNeese State in 2003. We were unaware of that resignation,” said Cassel.
