Hartford And Detroit Mercy: What Just Happened?

In the broader college basketball world there are two stories right now that are hard to understand.

First, what in the world has happened to Detroit Mercy’s women’s basketball team?

The team had objections to coach Ann-Marie Gilbert and expressed them in one voice and though they said they’d take the court for an assistant, refused to play for Gilbert.

So the university essentially told them to take a hike and canceled the season.

Only one player was left on the roster and the AD told her she could keep her scholarship but wouldn’t be on the team next year.
