Joseph fired over abuse allegations

Almost a month after being placed on leave, Tech women’s basketball coach MaChelle Joseph was fired on Tuesday by the Georgia Tech Athletic Association (GTAA). The GTAA cited an investigation that found that “Coach Joseph regularly engaged in conduct that [student athletes and Tech employees] considered demeaning, belittling, and insulting.” Joseph had been on leave since February 27.

On Tuesday night, Tech released the results of its report, conducted by an external investigator. The report cited the results of interviews conducted with all student athletes and staff under Joseph, former players, and other individuals associated with the team as well as Joseph herself.
