Another One Of These

Another one of these players sue former coach things. This time it involves a once very success UConn Assistant Coach Marisa Mosely. She went 45-75 at Wisconsin before announcing she was leaving for personal reasons this March.

Some details here: Ex-Badgers sue Moseley, allege mental abuse
Would like to hear the other side, but know it won't come out for a while.
 
Obviously Serah will be asked about this, whether she wants to be or not. Could even be asked to testify in theory. It will be interesting if she wants to comment on this.

I hope very much that she doesn't say anything in public about this, lest she get caught up in it. She's spoken fondly of Marisa in the past, so I doubt the plaintiffs will want her to say anything. I'm confident this suit will disappear soon enough. Maybe the university will settle, but I doubt it.

If they dont settle how would it go away quickly?
 
ESPN has come out with an article full of the plaintiffs' allegations. To me it reads like a lawyer looking to find a case with a lot of buzz words and some strangeness. My favorite : "For example, the complaint says Ellew was experiencing a mental health event when Moseley kept her alone in the back of a locker room and threatened to notify police unless she agreed to check into a mental health facility. " That kind of stuff would have me resigning.

My favorite is "unconstitutionally toyed with the mental health of her players. . ." I'm pretty familiar with the Constitution, and I can say confidently there's nothing in there about toying with someone's mental health. No idea what happened, but you hit the nail on the head with buzzwords.

Yeah, I saw that and laughed. It is like a signal that what follows is high drama but nothing else.
 
Like they say, "where's there is smoke, there is fire". Regardless of the language in the suit, those are some pretty serious allegations by 5 players. Don't be so quick to dismiss the players concerns just because Mosley coached at UConn for a while. Head coach and assistant coach are two different animals!
 
Happening, event, doings, go rounds .... it is always womens' basketball.

 
The thing about student complaints is that it's not always easy to distinguish between victims and sympathizers. Are there five complainants, or only two, or only one? In the earliest eversion of this story I've seen, there was one student. Now there's five. But are the others also victims, or are they merely filing on the basis of things they heard? The current article doesn't clarify this, but the court surely will.
 

Okay, it just seems like it is always the fairer sex. 🙂

If you pay more attention to women's basketball, one could see your point. However when coaches like Bob Knight and Gregg Marshall of Wichita State lose their jobs for similar claims, which made national news, it seems like an odd assumption to make.
 
What makes this situation different from most in which there are allegations of physical or psychological abuse is that the central allegation involves a coach's attempt to intervene when one of her players is having "a mental health event". I do not know the particulars of what happened, but I can say that encouraging (and, yes, sometimes pressuring) a person to pursue voluntary commitment to a mental health facility is not for the faint of heart. And depending on the person, the illness, and family dynamics, the blowback can be fierce. I have been there, as both a professor and pastor. As with any endeavor in life, one can be more or less skillful, and more or less experienced when it comes to staging an intervention, but people are rarely cavalier when doing so, and the process is almost always messy, uncertain, and fraught.

Good grief Bobby Knight. To get 2 men that had issues on player treatment you had to dig up Bobby. A casual comment about it seems more an issue in women's basketball seems to be addressed as something to attack.
