Long story short.
Daughter played High School varsity basketball for 7 years.
3 years or so ago the coach came to me and asked me to film the games and then upload them to the teams Hudl account.
We Shook hands on it.
Every game took at least 2 hours to film. It also took 3 - 4 hours to upload. I also kept the scoring for each game updated on the Hudl site. I also had to pay to get in the games.
High School Principal tells me that the coach is supposed to pay me for doing this.
Back in March I sent him a bill for the last 3 years per our agreement.
Even gave him a 20% discount if paid within 30 days.
Only people that knew about it was me, my wife and the coach.
At the Prom a woman turned around and told me about the bill, so that meant he was running his mouth. Her daughter still plays and she thought it was a shame I charged him to do the videos.
Fast forward to last week when I tried to get the principal to get him to pay the bill. He referred me to the school's attorney.
Call him today per his request. He basically says I am screwed because I did not go through the board of education to get this re approved. I did not know I had too. I thought a verbal agreement was binding but the attorney basically said good luck and have a great day and nice talking to you. He said if it is not in writing it never happened.
What a wonderful life lately. SMH!
Any suggestions? I may contact a lawyer to see what they may say but since Pike County KY is a strictly controlled county I doubt I would get anything or get any help from anyone.
Thanks
