I am also a current minority on the team. Notice all the negative posts were made on the same day, the same day that Coach had to remove one of our minority teammates for getting in trouble with the university. The same teammate (and their friends) who had been disciplined multiple times for other infractions, who were always late and never really liked to run or be on the team (but had too much financial incentive from the previous coach to quit). As a minority on the team, I’ve never experienced any racism, mysoginy or bias from Coach, nor has anyone else I’ve known. Those on the team who like to run and race have had nothing but positive experiences since he is approachable, encourages our participation in planning our training, always listens when something is wrong and just seems to really care about our well being and overall experience at UAA. Sure coach isn’t perfect like anyone, but the only person who I’ve heard had an overall bad experience was the person who got in trouble with the university multiple times. I think we know who these posters are..
