INFLCR Founder and CEO Jim Cavale will step down as CEO and Chief Innovation Officer for Teamworks, while remaining an advisor and shareholder for the parent company. INFLCR Assoc. GM Sean Kelly will step in to succeed Cavale. Teamworks CEO Zach Maurides: "Jim has really worked hard to develop, in Sean Kelly, a successor that is not just going to carry INFLCR forward from where it is today, but I think Sean has really crafted a vision for where INFLCR needs to go over the next ten years. What's exciting is now he's got a chance to execute that and really carry forward the legacy of what Jim has established here at Teamworks. [...] I'll leave it to him as to how he wants to unveil what he's doing next, but suffice it to say that I think it's going to be incredibly impactful. I think he's going to bring the same passion and drive he has brought to everything in his life and I think at the end of the day he's probably going to transform the industry again because that's just what he does."

Boulware, however,  was accused by school officials of not notifying authorities of this and subsequently fired.” Per the petition: “Coach Boulware asked whether a weapon was present and all occupants of the room denied the presence of a weapon or that one was involved in the altercation. No weapon was visible or located.” The North Carolina Court of Appeals last month ruled in WSSU’s favor, with Judge John Tyson writing: “Boulware fails to identify any conflicts in the evidence or testimony and does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence as not supporting any specific findings of fact.” (link)
