Charles Allen, Cayuga Community College's former soccer coach, said Tuesday he still has not made a decision about rescinding his letter of resignation.

"I haven't done anything yet," he said. "I have no further comment."

Allen resigned from the position last Thursday, after a parent complained to the college that Allen had allowed parties in his home where team members consumed alcohol.

The parent, Denise Collinson, is the mother of Phillip Collinson, who pleaded guilty to a menacing charge in Auburn City Court related to an allegation that he had threatened Allen and his family.

Collinson, 20, is a British citizen and is awaiting deportation at a holding center in Batavia. As part of his plea agreement, he consented to leave the U.S. Collinson, a sophomore and a member of the soccer team, had lived with Allen and his family his freshman year at CCC.

Allen's attorney, Simon Moody, called Denise Collinson's complaint "rubbish" and said while parties were held at Allen's house, students were not allowed to consume alcohol.

He said Collinson made the complaint in retaliation for her son's arrest. Moody said Allen was pressured to submit his resignation by Dr. Philip Gover, the college's vice president of academic affairs.

Gover said Tuesday he hadn't heard anything from Allen and the college considers his resignation letter valid.
