To the surprise of many in the local athletic community, state and Section 1 tennis coordinator Quan Huynh announced last week his decision to resign from both roles following a dispute with the New York State Public High School Athletic Association.

Huynh, who helmed the positions for a decade, said he was “forced to step down” by NYSPHSAA leadership in response to complaints about his speech following the boys tennis southeast regional championship in June. The state and section are now searching for his replacement.

“It hurts because I really enjoyed doing this,” said Huynh, who is a longtime coach at Harrison High School and was the section coordinator for boys and girls tennis. 

During what was an intense regional matchup between Horace Greeley and Section 8’s Syosset on June 5, tempers flared and the audience became unruly. At one point, Huynh said, a Long Island parent directed an expletive at a player. That conduct, he said, prompted his admonishment of the attendees later.

“We had a parent taunting the kids, someone cursed at the players, and I even stopped play and told everyone we can't have this,” Huynh said. 

“In my wrap-up speech at the end of the tournament, I brought it up," he continued. "I kind of scolded them about their behavior.”

Huynh insisted he didn’t use foul language in the address but assumed his brusque tone, and his chiding of the Long Islanders, rankled some listeners. Someone recorded the speech and submitted it to NYSPHSAA, which is the governing body of public high school sports in the state.

“There were some comments made in the speech that were concerning, and I addressed that with him,” NYSPHSAA executive director Robert Zayas said. “He did a good job in the role, and we appreciated his work, but this was an unfortunate situation.”
