Women's basketball icon and former Texas Southern coach Cynthia Cooper-Dyke used abusive and sexual language, endangered players' physical and mental health with excessive punishments, and avoided a Title IX hearing on complaints by retiring ahead of it, The Athletic reported Thursday. It reportedly followed a pattern of Cooper-Dyke leaving programs for other jobs after allegations were made to school administrators.

The Athletic's Chantel Jennings and Dana O'Neil detail more than a decade of alleged abuse during Cooper-Dyke's time coaching at Prairie View A&M, UNC-Wilmington, Texas Southern, USC, and again at Texas Southern where she retired in March. The announcement was made March 17, the day before the NCAA women's basketball tournament was set to tip the first round of action. Texas Southern praised her work and wished her success in the future.

Cooper-Dyke was told one of her Texas Southern players who had a previously known mental health diagnosis was depressed and said, "No, she will be all right, she just needs some d***, that’s all." She called the same player a "sorry-arse virgin."

In a different instance during 21-22, she told a staffer who made a suggestion, "Get the f*** out of my gym, go home. You’re a sorry-arse bitch. You’re a nobody."

While a player was doing squats, Cooper-Dyke came up behind her and said, "Ooh, your hips are big, you got a fat arse and I can tell you like to ride some d***."

At UNC-Wilmington in 2010-11, she would say "wet, wet" after a shot was made and then motion to a player adding, "I bet that’s what [name redacted] was last night."

At Texas Southern in 2012-13, a male assistant complained of having no social life because of early practices. Cooper-Dyke "proceeds to get in front of him on her knees and pretty much act like she’s giving him oral sex," a player said.

When one player was slow running a drill, Cooper-Dyke told the team it was because she was "getting d***ed down" all the time.

At most schools where she coached she called at least one play "hot sex" and often called players "retarded," "Black-arse child," "bitch," "p****" and "dumbass." She also pressured players to practice despite not being cleared by doctors after injury.
