i wish the NCAA would step up and support ms.chatman. being for to resign (you might as well call it fired) for one's sexuall oriantation is absurd in this day and age. she was with a former player not a current player which in my opinion is her private life and should be left alone by university official's. i just dont get how a coach like bobby knight is considered this great man's, man of a coach after some of the antics he's preformed on and off the court. hitting players, throwing chairs on the court in the middle of a game. profanity, etc.. but everyone say's "well thats just bobby knight". ms. chatman is a lesbien, so what? she was having an affair with a FORMER player and both were consenting adults. so why the forced resignation? i despise LSU for doing this to her. i hope she is offered a better coaching job somewhere where there are not as many bigots. she stepped in for Sue Gunter who was dying of lung cancer, kept the composure on the team, and pulled the womans' program at LSU thru its darkest, saddest period, and this is how they respond to her. I guarantee Sue Gunter is rolling over in her grave over this. LSU should be ashamed of its self. if i was a player on their roster id ask for a transfer or bolt for the WNBA. i wouldnt want to be a part of a university that is as backward and bigoted as LSU.
