Huntingdon golf coach fired

Huntingdon president J. Cameron West announced today that the school's director of golf, Matt Mahanic, has been dismissed, effective immediately.

Mahanic had gained notoriety in the previous 24 hours for a particularly profane post-match rant that was circulated through social media and made Deadspin (caution, foul language).

"As a member of Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, we adhere to the principles expressed in the NCAA Bylaws," said West. "To quote the Bylaws, 'Individuals employed by or associated with a member institution to administer, conduct, or coach intercollegiate athletics shall act with ... sportsmanship at all times so that intercollegiate athletics as a whole, their institutions and they, as individuals, represent the honor and dignity of fair play and the generally recognized high standards associated with wholesome competitive sports.' "

Mahanic also closed his Twitter account.
