UC Riverside women's basketball coach John Margaritis resigned Friday after being put on leave without pay the day before.

The school was about to start a second investigation into allegations of verbal and emotional abuse toward student-athletes by Margaritis. He had been given a 20-day unpaid suspension earlier this summer after a previous investigation regarding the allegations.

A lengthy article in The Highlander, UC Riverside's student newspaper, in August detailed numerous allegations against Margaritis in regard to his treatment of student-athletes.

Former UC Riverside player Inara Nyingifa told the Press-Enterprise on Friday that she thinks the school's athletic administration also needs to be held accountable.
