Interesting followup story about the charges of abuse against Loyola women's head coach Sheryl Swoopes. An unprecedented 10 of the 12 players scheduled to return next season have left the Loyola program and transferred, and there have been unusually high numbers of transfers each previous season as well. Most of her assistant coaches have left, too.

Here is one for the "curious timing" file-Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
After months of saying they supported embattled Loyola women's head coach Sheryl Swoopes in regards to numerous player abuse charges and 10 of the 12 rostered players for 2016-17 leaving the program, the Loyola administration waited until the middle of a holiday weekend, late on a Sunday night to fire her and send her quietly packing.
The announcement did not even come from the University administration, or the Athletic Director. It was the University's public relations firm that released the following extremely brief statement attributed to the AD at about 9:00 PM Sunday night and both they and the University refused to reply to any questions about how the decision was reached or what the school discovered during their investigation.-
"Sheryl Swoopes is no longer serving as the women's basketball coach at Loyola University Chicago. A search for her replacement will begin immediately. Loyola thanks Sheryl for her service to the women's basketball program."Comment
