Florida Women's Basketball Players Detail Alleged Abuse by Former Coach Cam Newbauer

Five former players for the Florida Gators women's basketball team have shared details about alleged abuse by former head coach Cam Newbauer.

Per ESPN's John Barr, players said Newbauer routinely belittled and berated players and created a toxic and abusive culture:

"Players described a pressure-cooker environment where the slightest misstep during a practice drill or a game could spark fury from their former coach. They said he threw basketballs at players, at one point hitting a player recovering from a torn ACL in her injured leg, made racially insensitive comments and routinely reduced players to tears during profanity-laced tirades.
