Yes she moved home after being banned from Suckup to train, according to her interview.
If BF had a written policy of who gets access and why, that would be good. If it was simply coach's discetion, then there is more pressure on him to demonstrate justification.
Denial of resources is factual and is'very central to discrimination cases, he said she said is not. And my point was that if he has a written policy and followed that to the letter, then no worries.
I'm not debating her behavior or guess it because all we have to go on is hearsay.
This practice facility access is another interesting thing. It seems that there should be some kind of objective policy or criteria for access in place that applied equally to both men and women to avoid sexual discrimination issues.
According to the article she "didn't feel welcome" that is different than being banned.
The senior, who was named All-American honorable mention, didn’t feel welcome at the practice facility anymore. The program’s all-time assist leader said she no longer even had a locker like previous WNBA draft prospects did for a month or two after the season, so the player who butted heads with coach Bill Fennelly for four years packed her belongings and headed south.
Obviously what she's willing to say to the Press at the time and what she said in the lawsuit are two different things. I'd say having all your stuff put in trash bags it's pretty clear message
We could be screwed then coming on the heels of next years class that isn't highly regarded at all. The previous two were somewhat trumpeted by impartial observers, this year not at all and now bad press hanging for a year or more. Someone might be inheriting a rebuilding project in a couple of years.
:sad:
I agree this is going to hurt recruiting bad and even if BF/ISU win, it will still be "used" by other coaches to hunt us on the recruiting trail for years to come. I really don't see a way BF survives this
You know that is going to get you several responses, right?
BTW, I'm on 48 just because.
I don't think you understand how this works. If judges threw out every case before hearing any testimony, there would be no justice.
Edit: 24 pages, so far, not 48.

Please the amount of material out there for opposing coaches to use against Bill fennelly is a mile long including video and most of these recruits have attended games and practices and have heard and seen him so I don't really see this doing more damage than he already does to himself
Believe me, I fully know how it works. Judges don't have to throw out all cases. But they keep a lot more than necessary. With less cases there would be less need for so many lawyers and judges.
For some reason, it didn't occur to me until this morning to question the thread title. Shouldn't it read alleged racial discrimination?
You may be right. There is plenty of stuff out there on BF for other coaches to use. I just feel like this is "fresh meat" for them. How long it stays "fresh" is the question. It's all about how the recruit views BF and the program IMHO Some will drop us like a hot potato and others wont. I still think it has some affect. How long? Who knows
Sorry to make everyone hungry with all the food references
