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!)
This basketball team needs a talk. First I would have a talk with Chelsea and Sarah, asking them to explain to me why this team is divided. Then I would ask Chelsea if the tables were turned and she was in Sarah's shoes how would she feel. Letting her know that what she is doing to Sarah is not an example of a good captain. Both Chelsea and Sarah are good players and if they want to go to the finals then they have to work together as a team. I would tell the other teammates the same thing. They cant expect to win games if their two best players don't work together. After the talk is done and things don't change I would make those girls suffer, extra practices and extra laps until they learned how to get along with each other and treat each other with respect. |

| Comments: I think that this solution could work, but I do not think making them suffer will help at all! A lot of the time, when you make students do things they don't want to do to punish them (writing lines, etc) they become spiteful and will continue to do what they got in trouble for in the first place. |
