Yesterday Sean Webby and Elliott Almond at the San Jose Mercury News broke a troubling story about Santa Clara head coach Michelle Bento-Jackson and her husband.

The University plans to fire Bento-Jackson amid allegations that she tyrannized her players and that her husband sexually harassed them.

Just days after the season ended in a first-round NCAA loss to Stanford, senior Quinn Thomas wrote a letter to administrators describing a pattern of abuse and harassment. "Personally, I am glad to be free from the tyranny of Coach Michelle Bento and her husband," she said.

Though some players continue to support Bento-Jackson, nine others came down on Thomas's side.

The University has given Bento-Jackson time to contest the action before making it final.
