Arizona’s women’s basketball team is 4-7 heading into tonight’s Pac-12 Conference opener at Washington. It’s been a rough season to this point for the Wildcats, and it sounds like it’s going to get even rougher.
Deadspin is reporting on a lawsuit filed in Texas that alleges current UA assistant Sean LeBeauf, who is in his first season with the team, sexually harrassed a player at his previous job at Paris (Tex.) Junior College.
The suit alleges, among other things, that LeBeauf threatened to revoke the player’s scholarship if she turned down his advances, accused of having a sexual relationship with a student and sent regular suggestive texts like below:
Yup, he sent a dick pic.
An email sent to UA sports media relations director Jeremy Sharpe was not immediately returned.

One might sometimes expect to see proper english being used in a public news article. Sometimes that expectation is met. Most of the time, the writers are trying to print the way they sound, so of course they not being capable of saying two words without slurring them together, write down “wanna.” which is not a real word, instead of putting forth minimal effort to write “want to.” At least we are not tormented, this time, by the infusion of “you know” three times in every sentence, as if the writer is also a football player. These irritants, along with the improper use of apostrophes (not apostrophe’s as an apostrophe cannot possess anything), really are disappointing. They make the writer appear to be the product of a typical backwater Southern rural school system. I swear, if I see “wanna” one more time, I’m “gonna” puke.
Critiques of an article should have proper punctuation in them. Specifically, there should be commas in all of the appropriate places. Proper use of paragraphs would be an added bonus. 😉
