IHSA tells Aurora Central Catholic, Guerin to resolve dispute on their own.
Football: No resolution to Aurora Central Catholic complaint about Guerin coach's behavior.
No action has been taken on a complaint that Aurora Central Catholic officials filed with the Illinois High School Association about the conduct of Guerin football coach Glen Kozlowski during a Sept. 19 game between the schools.
"I believe the school administrators have been in contact with one another and unless we get further concern, we'll let the schools work it out," Craig Anderson, IHSA executive director-elect, said Wednesday morning.
ACC athletic director Sean Bieterman said Wednesday afternoon he has not heard from anyone at Guerin.
"We're looking forward to seeing what action will be taken to make sure this doesn't happen again," Bieterman said. "We're waiting to see what steps Guerin will take."

Bieterman said ACC's complaint was filed Sept. 21.
Both schools are members of the Metro Suburban Conference. ACC is in the West Division, Guerin is in the East.
"We did reach out to the officials who worked the game (Sept. 19 at Guerin) to get more details," Anderson said. "At this point, I think it would be best if (the schools) work out some sort of agreement. It's best when the school administrators take care of things like this."
Anderson, who oversees football for the IHSA, said he couldn't think of a similar situation in his six years with the IHSA.
"Generally, coaches tend to get along," he said.
"Typically, if something comes up, it's usually a coach having a disagreement with an official or officiating crew. If a coach is ejected from a game, he has to sit out the next contest, or more if he's totally out of line.
"That's generally where we have disagreements. It's rare to have the two sidelines have a disagreement that develops into a confrontation."
