The recent run of Syracuse women's basketball players deciding to leave the program is reportedly due to inappropriate behavior from head coach Quentin Hillsman.
Per Chantel Jennings and Dana O'Neil of The Athletic on Tuesday, 28 different people connected to the program said that Hillsman's behavior, including "unwanted physical contact, threats and bullying, and the program’s generally pernicious culture, pushed many players and staff members to leave."
In April, John Kekis of the Associated Press noted the Orange had a total of 11 players enter the transfer portal following the 2020-21 season.
One former player described to Jennings and O'Neil the type of threatening language Hillsman allegedly used.
