This off-season's mass exodus of Syracuse Orange women’s basketball players has earned plenty of attention from SU-related outlets, this one included. But national coverage had been minimal — until Tuesday morning, that is.
The Athletic’s Chantel Jennings and Dana O’Neill published a lengthy story about the troubling culture around Orange women’s basketball, led by Head Coach Quentin Hillsman. Speaking with nine former players and 19 others, The Athletic report includes alleged threats, outbursts, inappropriate touching and a culture of sowing discontent.
There’s also the note that Hillsman allegedly created a staff position for friend Ronnie Enoch, SU’s current director of recruiting and player performance, despite him being dismissed from a previous coaching job due to accusations of sexual harassment (more on his ouster at NC Central here).
