The allegations unearthed against Coach Q in the independent report were indicative of a coach who clearly had not been aware of the sign' of the times changing...or wasn't interested in them. Has he recognized he needed to change? Taken courses, sought counseling? Enough to be trusted with coaching young women on a day-to-day basis? That's one aspect of this case.
The other is the doubling down by the Ole Miss administration and Coach Yo. Their responses could be considered farcical if it didn't affect peoples' lives. Coach Yo offered 4 tidbits of advice to others. I'll focus on two (with my comments in):
1. Normalize not speaking to me if you speak about me negatively.
(And that includes my program. I don't care if I'm a highly paid state employee. Don't dare question me.)
4. Don’t tell me what you heard! I’m good not knowing
(Heard? How about reading a report that got Coach Q let go from Syracuse? BTW, as
@TheFarmFan and others have noted, that attitude will cost your HR and legal team millions when a suit is launched)
I'm hoping (praying?) Coach Q has turned a corner. What concerns me just as much -- if not more in this case -- is Coach Yo and Ole Miss do not seem to care and that might impact the young women she's supposed to help grow.
