Video sheds light on ex-coach’s exit
“A video of San Diego State University women’s basketball coach Beth Burns striking an assistant on the bench during a game appears to have been central to her sudden departure in April, and the university has paid a $250,000 settlement to the assistant.
The video is seen by some of Burns’ colleagues as incidental or even commonplace courtside contact, although workplace attorneys warn that any hitting of a subordinate can be a significant legal problem for an employer.”
