Another version of issues between Oda, Hamada and other coaches. It is split by issues, and how each party replied to each of the 3 points. Summed up by University.

Oda’s Proposal 1: To move the current training time (held later in the day) to much earlier time, so that the students can go classes continuously, without interrupting for training.
Oda: “In February 2019 I reschedule (moved) the training time for primary and secondary level schoolers, from 13:30-15:00 to 6:30-8:30. But in April 2019 Hamada returned all to the original time without consulting with me.”
Hamada: “I received a proposal from Oda about moving the training time, and did so. Yet, Oda himself never came to practices at those times, even though it was his idea. Some of the students simply could not come on time, that early. After conducting a survey with parents and coaches, most of which were against the time change, I conducted a meeting (to which Oda did not show up) where a vote/decision was made to return the training to the original time.”
Other coaches: “The kids were late to their first classes, which made this change meaningless. As well, the kids (came on ice) barely awake (sleepy), which made the whole practice unproductive and dangerous. Hamada gave Oda advance notice about this meeting to move the training time back. He appeared displeased, but said “Ok, Ok”.
Oda’s proposal 2: Class/grade performance requirements.
Oda: After consulting with the University management/administration I attempted to change the rules in order to increase educational performance, but faced an opposition from Hamada (had to deal with resistance from Hamada). I don’t know why she objected to the new rules (why she stood against it).
Hamada: I received the proposal (for the new rules) from Oda on January 24 (2019), but questioned (had my doubts) that the Club has the right to decide for the students how to handle their schedules (how to allocate training vs. practice time).
Also I have doubts that punishing the skaters who are not doing well in school, by cutting their practice time, is not a good motivator for them to study better.
In spite of the promise from the assistant consultant that this new rule will not be implemented yet, until it is discussed at another trainers’ council, Oda made an announcement at the first gathering of all students in June, and promised to send a memo with full explanation to all coaches by July.
Other coaches: Nobody held a meeting to consult with us, and we never received any memos with explanations. At a meeting on 22nd of May the Club Consultant assured us that the new rule will not be implemented prior to a trainers’ council meeting, and will be given a transition period (adjustment time). But the following week all students were already discussing (talking about) the new rule. Worst yet (further more) Oda told one of the skaters that he/she is banned from training starting October because she/he is 1 credit short (in school work).
Oda’s proposal 3 – School Figures (Figures 8) training.
Oda: I witnessed (I saw) how 5 skaters of Hamada are drafting (drawing/wedging) Figures 8 into the ice, in spite of the safety rules that there should be no more than 3 skaters on the ice. I wanted Hamada of danger, but she ignored (dismissed) me.
Hamada: I was not at the rink at the time of this occurrence (incident).
