Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Pennsylvania

Legality of a signed contract

Can 2 members of a swim team Board hire and sign a new head coach to a contract without the support of all the Board members. There should be 5 members of the Board. One voted ''no'', the present Head coach did not get a vote, and the 3rd Board position was not filled at the time. So this was done with a 2:1 vote of the present Board, and members of the club had no idea this was going to happen and were only informed after the contract was signed. Is this legal?
