I see the occasional drive-bys to the women's forum have chimed in with their expertise when they've likely never attended a game

Syracuse University launches investigation into women’s basketball coach Quentin Hillsman

Key in that investigation is no one ever came forward with a formal complaint. Like I said, this seems orchestrated so that the university could have some cover to investigate someone when there was no formal complaints yet there was whispers.

Tiana hasn't waivered in her defense of Hillsman.

 

[JarHeadJim]

He has to go after this. Who would send their Daughter to play for him. He will be crucified on the recruiting trail. Offer Tammi Reiss the job! She's the coach who left for Rhode Island last year.

“The allegations reported in The Athletic today are troubling. Based on the nature of these allegations, Syracuse University is engaging an outside firm to conduct an independent review and will take appropriate action based on its outcome,” the statement said.

“While no formal complaints have been made to date from members of the women’s basketball program, we take these allegations very seriously. We ask any individual who has knowledge of or has experienced this kind of conduct to come forward. Syracuse University remains focused on the well-being and success of our student-athletes.”

Not sure I follow - so if you haven't attended a game in person you can't comment on the article or anything you may have watched on TV or a streaming service?

I’m sorry I’ll see my way out, I guess you have to attend a game to be a fan.

I'm sure you follow but here you go - now that there is a scandal involving a women's team people will take the time to drop in and give their 2 cents about a program they care to know little about.

This has nothing to do with basketball.

 

[CuseLegacy]

I've experienced men/coworkers who didn't understand about physical boundaries and that proximity or unasked for contact can make a female uncomfortable. Things just as stupid as kissing someone on the forehead. One idiot stood behind me, stuck his face in my hair and told me how good my perfume smelled. Was he a bad person. No. Just stupid.. Maybe Hillsman needs to be educated in what is appropriate behavior.

The thread was originally posted on the men's forum before it got moved. Otherwise some posters would never have seen it.

Yes, that would be a good first step but if you can't attend a game then why not make it a practice to support women's sports beyond commenting about a scandal? Not calling you out specifically but just trying to make a point

thank you for the context, I just saw the article posted about a half hour ago. So that explains why this forum has some unusual visitors.

Thank you Kelly.

So to be clear...you don't want us sticking our face in your hair?

( Sorry..bad joke timing wise. You'd think certain things are common sense)

 

[KellySyracuse]

hmmm, I wonder who this 5 star recruit might be. Any newcomers here want to venture a guess on that before you ask google for assistance?

 

[Ozone!]

Wow, this has to be properly investigate; if true, that would explain the mass movement from the program, after the season.

Well I was a heck of a lot younger then.

 

[sutomcat]

I dunno Tomcat. Kissing players, inappropriate touching, threatening players, each of those are reason enough for termination. Especially in 2021.

Individually, lots of this stuff could be forgiven, if rarely done. A kiss on the forehead is weird but seems pretty harmless to me.

But it sounds like there were a lot of questionable things done, apparently quite often. I don't like to call for people to be fired. But I think it is probably warranted here.

Not a good day for the women's basketball program. But it might set the stage for better days ahead.

 

[CuseLegacy]

I agree. It needs to be properly investigated before any decision is made by the administration. But I don't believe in firing anyone until an investigation is completed.

If something happens, I would have to think that her and Tammi Reiss would have to be considered. I'm not sure Tammi would take the job though.

Tammi Reiss left two years ago, but yeah— if Q ends up getting fired she would be up towards the top of my list of who he should be replaced with.
