Boston University's women's basketball coach has left the school after being investigated when four players quit the team and accused her of bullying them.
Coach Kelly Greenberg confirmed she left in a statement on the BU Today website: "I do not agree with some of the findings of the review panel regarding my coaching style, which was intended to produce well-rounded athletes and a winning team," Greenberg said. "However, given all that has transpired, I do not believe that it will be possible for me to continue as an effective coach at Boston University."
While the abuse claims were not substantiated, Todd Klipp, senior counsel at the university, told BU Today that a "compelling case was made, based on interviews with the team as a whole, that the manner in which Coach Greenberg interacted with many of her players was incompatible with the expectations and standards for university employees, including our coaches."
One of the players who complained, senior guard Melissa Gallo, said "I hope this program will start heading in a positive direction."
"The whole reason I came forward was so the girls who are still on the team will have a much better experience than what I went through and what the other girls went through," she told the Boston Globe.
