Former Pitt women’s basketball players call coach Tory Verdi abusive, toxic in Title IX lawsuits

By The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Six former players on the women’s basketball team at the University of Pittsburgh have sued coach Tory Verdi and the school over what they call abusive coaching methods and say their efforts to seek help were ignored. “These players aren’t soft. We aren’t talking about sensitive personality types,” lawyer Keenan D. Holmes told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “Obviously, there are expectations placed on players.

It went beyond the bounds of common decency.” Verdi, according to the lawsuit filed Friday, also tried to force players into the transfer portal, putting their scholarships at risk and threatening their academic and athletic futures. The university denied the allegations in a brief statement issued Tuesday on behalf of both the coach and the school.
