According to the Times-Picayune, Sharpe disciplined the bowler by having them run after being an hour late to practice. Apparently, some people view that from of punishment as too harsh, which led to a parent complaint, and ultimately Sharpe’s dismissal.

The university called it a personnel matter and refused to comment on it. Several members of the bowling team were contacted and also refused to comment. Sharpe did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Johnson deferred comment to athletic directors Rick Dickson and Barbara Burke. Spokesman Roger Dunaway said no one from Tulane would comment.

This can't possibly be the real reason she was canned. Did the AD have some sort of beef with her and jumped the first chance he got to move her out?

There has to be, but we'll never hear anything from this AD.

There is no doubt there is more to the story, but we will never, ever hear it.

She probably harangued the shite out of him while he was running. Tulane is pretty anti-bullying.

those bastards should play a real sport. Bowling is a fricking game, not a sport.

fricking bowlers. Bowlers have always been, and will always be bad news.

Most likely they had been building a case on her for a while. The athletes liked her, so the AD had to remove her somehow. Dickson is the Obama of AD's.

Any COLLEGE administration that takes a phone call from a parent about their poor, mistreated child should drop all athletics. Leave that shite to Little League.

No Big Lebowski or Kingpin references? This board is slipping.
