Strange and shocking details about the suspension of Columbia women’s basketball coach Megan Griffith have emerged, revealing the alleged behavior that led to her being sanctioned by the school.
\n\nA former player who Griffith coached reportedly filed a complaint in September that alleges abusive behavior going back to 2016, when Griffith joined the program, according to the New York Post.
\n\nThe complaint also includes statements from five other school athletes, all alleging that Griffith “created a culture of verbal abuse, bullying and manipulation.”
\n\n“Our firsthand experiences cite serious concerns about a culture of emotional and psychological abuse, the mistreatment of injured players, and the utter disregard for athletes’ mental health,” the complaint says, according to The Athletic.
\n\nThe statements also insist that Griffith was so volatile that everyone was always “walking on eggshells” around her.
\n\nThe filing adds that Griffith constantly degraded players — such as calling them “zeros in life” — that she criticized people if they spoke in Spanish, and was “emotionally manipulative.”
\n\nShe has also been accused of kicking students out of the Columbia locker room or from practice with little justification, and of sometimes punishing players by making them sit in a chair facing a corner.
