- Buckie Leach (on the far right) leading a fencing clinic
A rough week for the USFA on the communication front continued today with the announcement that Buckie Leach has declined his appointment as the National Coach for women’s foil.
It had been announced only two days earlier that he had been appointed to the position so this came as quite a shock. According to www.usfencing.org:
After continuing negotiations between US Fencing and Buckie Leach, US Fencing is sad to announce that Buckie Leach has declined the position of US National Women’s Foil Coach.(READ MORE)
One might wonder why they would announce him as a national coach if he hadn’t accepted it yet?
I will give them credit, they did post something in a timely fashion for once. Now, if only they could post tournament results with this speed.
