The check bounced because of insufficient funds, according to the allegation. Wilder, 53, was named head baseball coach at Westlake this season after serving as an assistant last year. He was not a teacher or full-time employee of the district. Several Westlake parents began to investigate Wilder's coaching background after questions were raised about his coaching philosophies. On Thursday, assistant principal Joseph Pawlick announced that Wilder had been dismissed, citing inaccurate information supplied by Wilder in his resume. Wilder had listed himself as head baseball coach at Verdugo Hills High in 1992 when he was officially an assistant coach. Bernie Carr, principal at Westlake Elementary School and the father of Westlake pitcher Tim Carr, was one of the most vocal parents challenging Wilder's coaching background. ``My concern goes to veracity veracity (v  ras´itē),n ,'' Carr said. ``I feel the guy doesn't have the ability to tell the truth to kids and parents.'' Wilder said his firing was the result of a group of parents pressuring school administrators after they disagreed with his coaching decisions. |
