Seton Hall softball coach accused of abuse

[ArmyVet]

Hate to hear stories like this.

The Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger has published a critical account of the actions of Seton Hall's softball coach, Paige Smith, charging a pattern of verbally abusive and capricious behavior — namely, questioning student-athletes who prioritized school or family over athletics — as well as consistently indifferent or obstructive responses by the university administration.

Star-Ledger columnist Dave D'Alessandro has compiled a series of charges leveled against Smith by current and former players. While eye-opening, and in some cases stunningly insensitive, the allegations are, for now, just that — allegations — because Seton Hall has not permitted Smith to speak on her own behalf, and has only responded with carefully worded, vague statements about the matter.

There's lots more to this story than the biased article. It read HORRIBLY if taken as gospel.
Prior to publication, SHU had completed an investigation not connected to the athletic dept. & found no wrong doing.
Note - SHU AD Pat Lyons is overly accessible to anyone, let alone players & parents.

Regardless, this is not what you want to read about any institution.
