We need more women in positions of authority to stop this nonsense

How does an All Pac-12 Team volleyball player NOT kick the shit out of this fucker? I can't square this up in my mind. This is an elite athlete. I think it's safe to assume there is a level of fire in this woman. Next D1 volleyball player you see, go walk up to her and pull her shorts down. Tell me how that works out for you.

But that's what the article points out, that she did pursue it, investigated, and found Shick to be at fault. You have to investigate. Biggest mistake was not firing him immediately. Jen continued to seek assistance for Strickland after she had left campus, continued to contact Strickland with the offer for care. As an organization of course you get things in writing. As noted this isn't an easy situation at all, and had Strickland sought to press charges, I think the AD would have supported Strickland in that pursuit.EwaDawg said:
I am pretty sure almost every female (Including our ? AD), that is beyond a certain age, has experienced some level of the same type of thing. The only fault I find is that I can't fathom how she couldn't see this from the victim's perspective. At least to assume it may have happened until proving it didn't.NEsnake12 said:Situations like this are significantly more difficult to manage when the victim wants it kept private, which Strickland wanted, and you have to honor that to the best of your ability. The whole "we wish him luck..." bit was just a generic line to not raise any suspicion to a situation that you don't want to go public.
Cohen's one mistake was definitely consulting with others (including Shick) about how to handle the hypothetical situation instead of assuming that the hypothetical could be real, and that it could've pertained to anyone in the AD. Misplaced trust for sure, but in the grand scheme of things she handled the situation pretty well. You have to give her a lot of credit for pushing the investigation forward when it might not have happened otherwise.
The whole story is more of an indictment of the legal side of things... the UW AD should have full ability to privately disclose misconduct information when GCU was in the process of hiring Shick. Also a bad look for GCU as they evidently didn't directly ask UW if there were any issues with misconduct while Shick was here.
It's safe to say that this will happen again, and hopefully the AD puts in the appropriate measures to deal with it so there is no grey area. -

And there's the whole authority figure, superior/subordinate dynamic, which I'm not prepared to blow off entirely.MikeDamone said:

Point being, he shouldn't have done it regardless of what she should or should not have done. Athletic prowess doesn't always translate to aggression in all aspects of life.
And in the pantheon of female athletes, volleyball chicks aren't the tuffest. Soccer girls are animals. I have an inkling elite female sprinters are no joke either - I would not have wanted to mix it up with Merlene Ottey. Volleyball girls are tall jumpers, but there's zero contact. Not tuff. -
