Abstract

Greenville University hired a former softball player and alumna to serve as head softball coach. She was recruited by the athletics director, who encouraged her to apply for the position. The coach's first season was characterized by internal conflict. Her graduate assistant, a former player with close ties to team members, allegedly conspired with players to undermine the coach and make false accusations against her. The team finished with a 9–15 record that season.
