This whole Pokey Chatman situation is interesting. Mind you, I don't really follow women's b-ball but I may watch the Women's Final 4. She made a decision to jeopardize a pretty decent job with LSU to have "inappropriate" relationships with some members of her team. LSU women's team is a major program. I can't help but think that if there was a similar situation in the Men's game where a coach had a relationship with a member of his team, this would be a much larger story. But, because this is a woman and she's having a relationship with another woman ... the outrage is not there. She was basically fired because she had a sexual relationship with one of the student athletes that she coached.
