But new allegations
made to USA Today Sports put a damper on that success. In a search to find out just what kind of person Freeze is, USA Today's Josh Peter spoke with some of Freeze's former female players at Briarcrest. That's when three women informed him about Freeze's inappropriate behavior.
Via USA Today:
Katie Dalmasso, 27, said she was an eighth grader at Briarcrest in 1999 when Freeze made her change shirts inside his office after he said her Grateful Dead T-shirt violated school dress code.
"Coach Freeze pulled me in his office and told me that my shirt represented drugs," Dalmasso said. “I said, ‘I’ll go change in the bathroom,’ and when I said that he said, ‘No, you’re going to change in here so I get the (Grateful Dead) shirt and you can’t have it back.’
"He didn’t do anything sexual. But I stood in the corner and faced the wall when I did it and I changed out of my shirt. No privacy."
Another former Briarcrest student said Freeze was “hyper attentive’’ to the length of her skirts and that he loomed in the parking lot after she would go to her car to change clothes.
Per the report, another woman even created a closed Facebook group "to offer a safe place to discuss Freeze after some former Briarcrest students received threats for criticizing the coach and making allegations about him online."
