[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 551269, member: 2784"] I coach AAU basketball. Guys though. I have on occasion used dirty words and told players they were "not living up to expectations". Don't do it often but never really had any blowback by players or in my case parents. Note parents are not part of an NCAA team. I had 2 girls play college athletics. Neither was BB - volleyball and track. Throw out track but the VB player recounted stories of new words she learned and times the coach literally bounced off the walls. It happens - ON OCCASION. If it happens every game and every practice - OK then someone needs to step in. But verbal statements of displeasure on occasion don't IMHO live up to standards of "abuse". Even for girls. Girls are without a doubt more prone to reacting badly to someone going off verbally. All the coaches my girls had told me that. They react to information more than "emotion". But IMHO it would have to be more than just peeling the paint in the locker room after the UVA game to have a couple of starters say they won't play for a coach anymore - and have an AD decide to suspend a coach while they figure out what to do. One game blowup doesn't really rise to the level of what we are seeing. But who knows. [/QUOTE]
