Let me tell you...
If my boss came up behind me, wrapped his arms around me, and let his hands go anywhere near my pelvic region, I would be damn sure he wasn’t my boss much longer.
And if that makes me guilty of buying into “woke bullsheet,” I guess I’m woke. But no man has the right to touch a woman who is not interested in being touched by him — much less when there is this kind of power dynamic in play.

If you behaved like he has at any other job you’d be fired on the spot. It’s 100% inappropriate and it’s definitely not woke BS.
I’m extremely conservative and I find his behavior as a leader appalling. I lead a large team at work and would never, ever, speak to any of my team members in that manner.

Speaking of Geno lol haha he sure did say Dawn was on the committee and had a voice about NnekaGeno said if i was getting the blame so are you haha
1. USA basketball could put three teams out there and probably win gold, silver, and bronze because of the talent pool. 2. they screwed Nneka O and should be ashamed because of her commitment not just on the court but in her professional duties. 3. if she was continually told to wait her turn why didn’t they do that to another player? Who you ask (and no it’s not because she is from uconn ... naphesia collier) ... but look at her stats someone would say and i agree but in reality having her wait another cycle where she is (27 and could go for the next two to three). 4. Nneka is the only MVP to not make an olympic team oh but wait she was THE MVP for the freaking USA during the world championships. We won’t even talk about the injury talking point because we all know DT is back to playing but had a cracked sternum.
This leads me to the 3x3 which is a team made up of Stephanie Dolson (uconn), Kelsey plum (washington), Katie Lou Samuelson (uconn), and Allisha Gray (SC). if you wanted to bring naphesia into the fray replace Katie Lou with naphesia collier to get her in on the pool. Also, get Sabrina Ionescu in the mix she could have easily made the roster of Arike O who would thrive in this situation.
Geno defends U.S. roster amid Ogwumike snub
Did Nneka make the WNBA All Star team? Was she snubbed again? Did she opt out? Injury? Or did the fans, players and coaches feel she didn't belong?
Changing the topic but just noticed that Mississippi State has signed all three Hayes sisters. Interesting!

Sounding a lot like he treated everyone who wasn’t a “star,” (like himself 
) like crap.
The only ones coming to his defense were his obvious favorites.
And honestly, I don’t care how great you are, who refers to themselves as a “star?” Especially when you’re just getting started. That Hindenburg sized ego is about to come down in flames just like the original. The majority of the very successful people I know are uncomfortable discussing their accomplishments for the most part. That just isn’t their primary focus, they’re always looking for how they can do better. How they can help somebody. They aren’t focused on praising themselves.
More telling than anything are the staff members who chose to leave silently. It’s not an easy decision to uproot your life and change jobs. If it was bad enough that a number of people left their job that tells you all you need to know.

agree dj,,,,"IF" indeed he crossed these lines, he will reap what he sewed...Something I have learned over the years,,,,,Players will give you exactly what you expect out of them, not, what you demand or try to intimidate out of them. . . Many coaches confuse fear with respect. While, fear antagonizes, respect propitiates
Guessing it was Williams? I have seen them jaw back and forth this season while on the court.
Their chemistry definitely isn’t good when playing together. Their coach seems…interesting…maybe he’s just letting it be a free for all this season? Just to see what he’s got. But it looks a mess. They have some talented players on their roster but do not look at all organized.
Disorganization leads to infighting. If the player don’t know who is in charge it’s always a mess.
