For the past few years, USATT has been methodically torn apart. All of its money has been frivolously wasted, its talented people insulted, abused and abandoned. Why? For the personal 'glory' of a tiny few? Please take a moment to find out about this pattern of abuse:
By the way, another Executive Director resigned
after only 3 months in office in March 2003....
USATT has lost control of the revenue generating
USATT ratings program....
USATT has lost control of its own USATT US
Open (although they are still responsible for all its expenses)....
USATT has lost the National Training Center
and failed to replace it with anything else....
Yet another novice intern has been promoted
to a critical key paid position in USATT....
What was the one bright star in USATT, Doru
Gheorghe, has been "Peter Principaled" into the position of Executive Director....
USATT has been notified by the US Olympic
Committee of the National Governing Body decertification process....
For the first time in history, USATT failed
to get a man in the first round of World Championships....
The beat goes on, but it appears not for very much longer....
