whoops, accidentally hit “post repy”.
anyway, a former tennessee athlete, cheyla scott (@cheyydubb), posted a video talking about why she transferred. some of the allegations in the video include:
- an extremely toxic team environment
- athletes constantly fighting and trying to turn each other in to get a higher scholarship
- hostile behavior from the coach towards injured athletes
- bad athletic trainers
- a somewhat shady recruiting process
- verbal and mental abuse from ross
several other people have responded agreeing with what she said. what’s interesting is that no one has actually said that he’s a bad coach - just that he is an awful person. matches a lot of the things i’ve heard in general since his time at NCAT.
