FSU Fires Women's Basketball Coach
Article, Chronicle for Higher Education, March 25, 2005
Fresno State University recently fired its women's basketball coach, alleging that Stacey Johnson-Klein stole money from her assistants, violated at least one NCAA rule, and prescription pain killers.
Coach Johnson-Klein fought back, claiming that she had been a victim of sexual harassment.
The university's main accusation was that the coach "skimmed" money from her assistant coaches, but the list of infractions and complaints was long.
This decision comes amidst growing popularity on campus. The team averaged close to 5,000 fans a game, and was quite successful on a national level.
