University Diaries » “[A student] brought a blue kickboard to the pool and Winslow became upset because blue was a [Brigham Young University] color. She said the coach threw a metal chair into the pool …”

The Bobby Knight of the University of Utah – a swimming coach with anger issues – reportedly got away with abusing his swimmers for years. It wasn’t until recent allegations of his having sexually abused a fifteen-year-old girl that Utah finally suspended him.

Suspension. I guess the swimmers – and their families – who’ve been filing complaints about his sadistic behavior (outlined here) will just have to sit back and watch him be reinstated once his legal problems are over.

Or not. Another scenario would involve UU facing negligence lawsuits from many people, given the damages the coach was able to continue to inflict on student swimmers over years, despite incessant formal protest.
