Where there is smoke there is fire. There is definitely enough here to conduct a thorough investigation and to make public the findings. Coaching and athletes have changed since my time. Heck I know I continued to play after sustaining a concussion and that happened on multiple occasions during my football & rugby years.

This coach does appear to be an odd duck (bear). Why punish a team that conducts a captain organized practice session??
I love the game of soccer and support this team, so this is disturbing. If these allegations have merit, Cal is best to get rid of him. Ole coaches like him rarely change even if they say they have.
Where there is smoke there is fire? What does that mean? A kid gets cut and files a law suit. An elite DI athlete is asked to address fitness issues and calls that “fat shaming.” I know this coach very well and what type of person he is and this is NOT a fair representation of him as a person or a coach. This looks like a situation where athletes that can’t cut it at the highest level because it’s “hard” therefore, it must be the coach’s fault. Elite athletics is supposed to be hard and isn’t for everyone.
Also, it appears that you failed to hear the complaints of the women. They made it clear it was the emotional, psychological and mental abuse. Not so much having to run or train. I agree a part of coaching is psychological ~ if used to benefit the individual and the team.
We shall see if the final investigation concludes that this coach was acting within his parameters.
I agree D1 sports are hard and isn't for everyone. As a former D1 athlete I experienced it first hand.
You may know this coach "very well" are you implying you played for him? Knowing someone on a personal basis is much different than playing for them.
Given the multiple of athletes interviewed and / or contributed to this investigative piece there is cause to complete an investigation and as an alum I support the university doing just that!! Plenty of smoke IMO. The most damning interview was the woman who played for him in high school and then experienced an entirely different coach in college ~ albeit she was warned of such. D1 coaching is stressful and can change a coach, sometimes for the worse.
Given you know him so well, what gives with punishing a team for doing a captain organized / lead practice?? I know from first hand that this isn't something Jack Clark would punish a team for. So would like to hear your response on this?
