| LSU women's hoops coach quits on eve of NCAAs because of...
...an affair she had with a player who was on one of her teams?  Quote:
Pokey Chatman resigned as the head women's basketball coach at Louisiana State on Wednesday after the university became aware of an alleged inappropriate sexual relationship between Chatman and a former player on Chatman's team, sources told ESPN.com.
The university, the sources said, learned of the relationship from an employee within the basketball program. It was unclear when the alleged improper conduct took place, but when asked if it had occurred while the player was a member of a team coached by Chatman, a university source said, "that's my understanding"...
Tenth-ranked LSU (26-7) upset then-No. 2 Tennessee last week in the Southeastern Conference tournament before losing to Vanderbilt in Sunday's tournament final.
Chatman was 90-14 as LSU's head coach. Before that, she was 15-5 as acting head coach during the latter stages of the 2003-04 season, when longtime coach Sue Gunter left the team because of lung disease. The Lady Tigers went on to reach the Final Four in New Orleans, where they lost in the semifinals to Tennessee.
Chatman, a Louisiana native, has been at LSU as both a player and coach for nearly 18 years.
