Every girl playing for Gail is truly at a personal risk, which is why she was asked to leave her former program. This is not an issue of a coaching style, which might not be compatible with some players. Gail is a truly unhappy and unhealthy person, who is a risk to her players and to the university. The fact that girls were upset that a member of the staff was leaving, because they felt "safer" when he was around, is just hard to think about as a parent. We have not had direct communication from the AD, but I can only hope they are taking these things seriously. Gail is not a "tough coach". She is an abusive adult who uses her authority to hurt people she thinks cannot or will not fight back. She finds happy young women who have been given an incredible opportunity to be a student athlete at an amazing university and tries to take all of that away from them. The administration should be addressing this very real problem and liability.
