You're fired.
That catchphrase has been reverberating around the sports universe since the 30-year-old owner of the Nashville Rhythm dropped the two-word bomb on her stunned coach courtside in the third quarter of a home game on Saturday night.
The victim was 23-year-old Ashley McElhiney, coach of the minor league American Basketball Association club and the first woman to coach a professional men's basketball team.

She's obviously unstable. Hope the coach finds a good lawyer :)
TN Freeper here. My wife and I think the coach is nuts. Look at her website ( www.sallyanthony.com ) and you can see what type of "role model" she is.
The co-owners hired some basketball player for 2 games for $10,000. Sally Anthony was bragging about it, but then before this now infamous game, for some reason Anthony told the young coach not to play him. The coach did anyway.
I think the coach attempted some off-court "passes" at the 2 game player. He rebuffed, so she went off. The league now just looks like the WWE off steroids.

I meant to say the OWNER made some passes, not the coach!!! The coach has been a complete class act.
Sorry.

I'm glad you cleared that up, it was getting wierder until you did.
I think her web-site is down. I'm not surprised.
How could she possibly know enough about coaching MENS basketball at 23? No freakin' way she gets any respect from the players. I would even question a 23 year old guy coaching a professional basketball team. There's simply not enough experience gained at 23 to coach professional anything. Something else is going on here - you are quite right about that.
Heh, let me coach the Chicago Bulls from the early 90's and it could look like I was doing something right too.
Well that's a helluva lot better than the Hawks.
