SPRINGFIELD – John Quinn will no longer be the head coach of Fenwick boys basketball, and his brother, Gov, Pat Quinn made it clear he doesn't agree with his alma mater's move.
According to a report by the Chicago Tribune, Gov. Quinn felt the need to speak out against the move.
"He's a kind and gentle man who understands the importance of sportsmanship, and I feel that my high school has lost its soul," Quinn said according to the report. "It's a devastating blow to my brother, John, and I think the administration there has let down the students, the alumni and shame on them."
