Message: [QUOTE="LETTERL, post: 3851111, member: 4687"] From the article in the Memphiean... [B]McFerrin came under fire in 2019 after a [URL='https://dailymemphian.com/article/6035/Former-players-say-abusive-conditions-existed-under-womens-basketball-coach-McFerrin']Daily Memphian report[/URL] in which nine former players accused her of fostering an abusive environment. Other former players publicly defended McFerrin. The university commissioned an external investigation, which found a [URL='https://dailymemphian.com/article/6056/Emails-provide-timeline-for-Melissa-McFerrins-contract-negotiations']“negative culture and atmosphere surrounding the program.”[/URL] But Memphis did not discipline McFerrin, who signed a two-year contract extension in April 2019. According to a copy of her most recent contract, McFerrin earned a base salary of $232,103.30 plus additional annual compensation of $100,000 for radio, public relations and service responsibilities. Her contract was set to expire April 15, 2021.[/B] I have never coached basketball but for $232,000, I'd be glad to give it a whirl. I have to work almost 6 years at my current job to earn that much!
