FIU women's player barred from Senior Night after reporting coach's sexual advances

Destini Feagin, a u200bteam captain for the FIU women's basketball team, accused her coach, Marlin Chinn, of sexual misconduct and was barred from participating in the team's Senior Night ceremony, according to the Miami Herald.

She reported her allegations to FIU’s athletics administration and filed an official complaint to the NCAA Thursday afternoon. She was then suspended four games, which she claims was punishment for resisting his sexual advances.
