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!) I think that you should speak to Chelsea and Sarah privately first. I do think that you should call attention to Chelsea because she as the team captain has a responsibility to the team just as the coach does. Explain to Chelsea that she is the model of the group, and that the other teammates are going to model her actions. Also explain to her that there will be consequences if she does not act fairly to Sarah. |
