In January 2015, Wake Forest, following an investigation by Title IX Coordinator Tanya Jachimiak, stated that head volleyball coach Ken Murczek was not guilty of violating the university’s sexual-harassment policy or Title IX regulations.
Since then, HBO’s Real Sports with Gumbel aired on March 24 a segment on Murczek where a former player accused him of emotional abuse.
The Old Gold & Black has reached out to several players currently on the volleyball team. All, however, decline to comment. I was, though, able to ask Murczek a couple of questions through email. His answers are below.
Were you aware that the segment on HBO’s Real Sports with Gumbel was going to air before it did?
