In recent news there’s been many reports of misconduct between coach and student athlete. Ultimately, these articles headline the coach being let go or not retained for that reason. If I have my facts correct, you were the direct report for Women’s Basketball. I can’t wrap my head around the evidence of unethical conduct that occurred within the program and the lengths the school went to completely silence the situation. It’s troubling to me that student athletes, coaches and administrators let this continue to occur. Many were aware of inappropriate conduct when it was occurring and after and still the school has been able to completely silence the wrong doing. Is that what money and power can buy? I believe a small outlet on social media made a few small reports but ultimately a coach engaging in an inappropriate relationship with an athlete, with evidence of male and female players being aware as well as the Head Men’s Basketball Coach and Assistant Women’s Coach. My questions are how and why was this allowed to continue to occur for as long as it did? How did many at the institution know without intervention. Why was it seemingly swept under the rug? The negligence of this institution allowed this behavior to move on without consequence and seemingly normalized the behavior. I’ve wondered why this story didn’t make headlines. Not only because the mishandling but the timeline of awareness it was occurring without consequence or action. Normalizing this behavior is unfathomable and dangerous to the integrity and ethics of any athletic institution.
