Bighamton coach leaves

What would you do if you woke up to an email from your coach leaving? This is what happened to the Bighamton lacrosse players. There coach left because he felt that three of his players were not treated right by the school. Three lacrosse players were suspended because their role in a fight. These kids where there to break it up and they are the ones who got suspended. The school said it wanted to act swiftly and the Stephenson feels like the school did a very poor job. He called out the school saying "They have become so scared of the media that they will not act fairly with regard to the student athletes' judicial cases,". This is a nightmare for the school because this will hurt the team and athletic department a lot. I feel bad for the players who lost their coach and a person they looked up to.
