Case: Basketball Team- Similar Case I coached a high school womens basketball team. Several players on the team were openly lesbians. Throughout the course of four years, more and more players "came out." I heard several rumors that one player, Chelsea, was approaching another player, Sarah, and wanting to "date" her. Sarah was not a lesbian and politely handled the matter by simply saying no. After several no's, Chelsea began punishing Sarah on the basketball court. She would not pass Sarah the ball, set picks for Sarah, and continously complain that Sarah wasn't doing her job. Since Chelsea was the leader of the team and of the lesbian group, the other lesbian players treated Sarah the same. It's not fair to Sarah to allow the other players to treat her this way, but I can't call attention to the lesbians without them thinking I'm discriminating.How do I handle this situation? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) To solve this problem, I would start out by having a meeting with the team and reminding them that they need to treat everyone equally and that they are a team and need to act like it. You should also tell them to keep their personal lives off the basketball court and out of the gym. If this does not work then you should pull Sarah aside and get her opinion on what the problem is and do the same thing with Chelsea. |
