If you ever met Jones you know why its sad. He is a great guy and someone that I would've trusted my daughter with as a coach. I've heard rumblings what happened and I'll leave that to myself. But I hope the best for him and his family. Yep...total BS...Daniel is one of the most incredible people (and coaches) I have ever met. THIS is so wrong on so many levels. I'd trust Daniel with my kids and my wife...totally and upstanding dude. Is admin running him out or did personal troubles cause his leave of absence this season?

I mean dang is right….read this articles and as a coach who’s been doing it for a long time, this makes me really scratch my head to say the least. How is it even remotely possible for something like this to happen at any level? Let alone DI? Total and complete let down from top to bottom within their athletics. Regardless if they keep the coach or let them go, rebuilding trust there is going to be extremely difficult for a while.

The article also makes the point that this is not isolated to volleyball at Seattle U. A similar neglect of the student athletes happened with men's basketball. So it is endemic within the athletic administration.

So it is endemic within the athletic administration. This is yet one more reason why when I coach I stick to using uplifting & encouraging words - always. There is simply no room in sports to destroy the mental health of a young person in order to display your authority over them. Athletes should have a safe environment (emotionally, physically, psychologically) to learn & grow in. A big aspect of coaching is preparing young people for life after sports. Helping young people navigate through those early years of their lives is something that should not be taken lightly. Unfortunately, many athletic directors are still focused on bringing in coaches that have a history of winning. Very little, if any focus is directed specifically to the mental health of the athletes. It's a very sad state of affairs.

Probably deserves its own thread at this point --- Seattle U doesn't provide transportation to and from the airport??? Certainly the coach should get them home safely - but using her personal vehicle isn't a good option -- not excusing her treatment of the players, but definitely seems like some department-wide dysfunction Sounds toxic all the way around -- often when I read these stories I try to see the coach's perspective and maybe just players with a "grass is greener" attitude, but this seems pretty damning for coach and department as a whole Awaiting a rush of Seattle athletes entering the portal ...

Unchecked power. I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again, if you don’t make the program about the kids, you will have problems.

Another thing, people that are upset that the kids didn’t speak up don’t understand how power structure works.

Over the last 5-10 years student-athletes have quickly gained more power than the coaches. Most of them have figured that out.
