GREENSBORO - Guilford County Schools disciplined Northwest Guilford High School boys basketball coach Manny Bloom on Wednesday for misleading officials here about a Florida school system's investigation into his handling of improper basketball camps.
Nora Carr, chief of staff for Superintendent Maurice "Mo" Green, said Wednesday night at least one other Northwest employee had also been disciplined. Carr would not identify the other employee nor would she discuss what discipline was taken, saying privacy laws prohibited her from elaborating.
Bloom was not demoted from his faculty position - he is a behavior improvement teacher at Northwest High - but it is unclear if he is still the Vikings' basketball coach.
Bloom did not return phone calls Wednesday. Reached in Virginia where he was vacationing, Northwest Guilford Athletics Director John Hughes, who hired Bloom, said school system officials sent him a letter pertaining to the investigation, but he has not read it yet.
