Those are some nappy-headed ho-s. Apparently these players didn’t realize they were signing up for D-1 college basketball. The one player was upset that she was told to ditch the emotional support dog. In reality the coach was probably trying to chase off some of the former coach’s recruits.

I support their decision to resign in disgust, or whatever. Just go away.

We've hand friends who played for girls' college teams, and also the WNBA.

Both instances the pecking orders were savage, particularly at the college level, girls choosing one group or another, the venomous coach poisoning all of them.

Buncha gorgeous TAALLL women all horned up for each other for about a week at a time.

Occasionally, complaints like this are actually reality-based.

The story somewhat suggests that the coach may have been running for the Ellen DeGeneres Lifetime Achievement award.

Perhaps we’ll hear more later...

Not all female B-Ball players are lesbians. I’ve heard of instances where some players were harassed into leaving because they were straight.
