The press release was three sentences, free of flowery language or even official letterhead. “Georgia Tech women’s basketball head coach MaChelle Joseph has been placed on leave, effective Wednesday, Feb. 27. Assistant coach Mark Simons will serve as acting head coach. Georgia Tech’s next game is Thursday (Feb. 28) at Miami. As it is a pending personnel matter, Georgia Tech will have no further comment at this time.” The following is a conversation between sports editor Harsha Sridhar and assistant sports editor John Edwards shortly afterwards.
Harsha: So John, details are obviously very sparse right now.
