An athlete at Westminster College has filed a lawsuit against a coach, claiming they retaliated against the student after a complaint over a sexually-charged initiation ritual.
SALT LAKE CITY — According to the filing, the senior claimed the coach allowed an activity called the"Hot Seat" in which freshmen and transfer players were called to sit in front of the bus while the team is traveling.sexually inappropriate and personally invasive questions posed by upper classmen into a microphone that broadcasts the player’s answers throughout the team bus," the lawsuit claims.
The student said while traveling with the team in 2021, they felt"trapped" and"uncomfortable and distraught" when subjected to the activity. Despite the misgivings, the player put on their"game face" and got through the experience without making eye contact with the coach. The player's family contacted a Westminster College official to report the harassment and abuse. A complaint was filed and the school allegedly retained outside counsel to investigate the allegations.
Following the complaint and training, the student-athlete claimed the coach retaliated by taking away playing time or benching the student altogether.
