Your Story: The men’s lacrosse coach at my D3 college has been verbally abusing, mocking and shaming players for years. Players (and parents) have begged the AD to fire him but she refuses, saying that he needs more time and more monitoring. She asked the players to “tell your parents to stop reaching out to me”. Any player who has bravely said anything experiences retaliatory behavior, losing most if not all playing time. Numerous players transfer at the end of each season. It’s the only way out from under his abuse.
