Camden High's Turner should walk away

Camden High School's legendary basketball coach, Clarence Turner has announced his retirement. ...Or has he ? The very controversial coach has denied he is retiring and indicates that Camden's principal (Al Davis) is forcing hm out.

Frankly, Turner should just ride into the sunset. The latest incident at "the High" was one of the worst in years. During last weeks tournament game, a Camden High player punched a Deptford player in the post game handshake line. The Camden player was eventually arrested

Turner's comment was that he can't control what happens with his players and that he is being unfairly singled out. Are you kidding me ? As the coach, he is ultimately responsible for what goes on before, during and after the game. Another lame excuse from Turner, who for for 30 years has coached Camden to over 700 wins (All time leading winningest coach in SJ history).

Clarence, just walk away now and leave a decent legacy behind.
