Byron DeVinner, 4daKids

[GopherDawg]

I knew when I heard that name that I'd heard it before. This is the guy who tried to get Riverdale (Murfreesboro, TN) HS in trouble. If I recall correctly the coaching staff ended up having to get restraining orders on the guy. Of course that doesn't stop him from keeping a picture of himself with the Riverdale football team on his non-profit foundations website. Interesting that he makes it looks like he was a coach, though he never worked at Riverdale at all.

Let's not forget though, this is all 4 da kids. You know, being their agent, er, er, "peer to peer mentoring".

So why is he all bent out of shape? Hell the kid got some money.

This "foundation" looks ripe for an IRS audit.

That's him. He's an insurance salesman. He basically started showing up at Riverdale practices and then started trying to get the staff in trouble with the TSSAA and whoever else would listen. I think he worked briefly at MTCS as a volunteer assistant coach. He's good friends with the Locke (Eric and Juicy) family. Birds of a feather...

Also, he claims to be a volunteer coach at Independence High School in Franklin....just down 840 from Murfreesboro. This guy is trouble everywhere he goes. He is simply using this "All for the Kids" crap to try to further his own personal goals. He starts showing up at these schools and claims to be a "volunteer" coach, applies for a coaching position, gets turned down....does whatever he can to get the school in trouble. He is using these kids and schools. He is a predator in my book.....hopefully the NCAA will see the pattern as well. Trash.

I'm not sure why anybody gives this guy the time of day.

How he gets any support for his 7 on 7 camps is beyond me.
