We don’t follow Syracuse women’s basketball closely so when we heard that 11 players entered the transfer portal following the season, we honestly had no clue.
But we suspected that coaching had to have some role in it.
As things have turned out, Syracuse coach Quentin Hillsman has seen a number of questions raised about how he runs his program.
The Athletic published an apparently well-sourced article Thursday which accused Hillsman of threats, bullying and unwanted physical contact.
Sarah Scalese, Syracuse’s senior associate vice president for communications, announced an external inquiry into Hillsman’s behavior. He’s accused, among other things, of going to each player and saying, in turn, “I don’t give a f*** about you” before turning a table over.
