| "Female coaches are leaving collegiate ranks" |
FRESNO - In 2002, Lindy Vivas coached the Fresno State women's volleyball team to the most successful season in its history. Two years later, she was fired.
University officials say Vivas failed to meet performance goals or attract enough fans to matches. But her lawyer says she was replaced by a man because she raised her voice to support women athletes in the macho world of Division I college sports and was mocked for it by male colleagues at office parties, staff meetings and on the court. |
