The administration at Duke has begun an investigation into the women’s basketball program for the mistreatment of players and coaches, multiple sources tell Swish Appeal.
The Blue Devils are now doing a very thorough investigation of the women’s basketball program following the most defections: recent star forward Azurá Stevens (transfer) and Angela Salvadores (leaving program) — a highly talented freshman.
Duke Legal has already spoken with current players and is planning on interviewing former players, and also former staff members, who have been under Coach Joanne P. McCallie during her tenure at Duke. There have been multiple departures in her time as head coach, and sources say that it is because of the alleged mistreatment.
Various assistants have also left the Blue Devils for what many perceive are lateral positions. And speculation has it, that some have left not because of the financial situations being better, but because of the way they were treated as overall people under McCallie’s leadership.
More details as this story develops.
