Clemson fired gymnastics coach following athletes' complaints, emails show
After a review of its gymnastics program following complaints, Clemson fired coach Amy Smith this spring for failing to ensure the safe and responsible treatment of athletes, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post.
In April, just after Clemson's gymnastics team finished its season, a university employee informed athletic department staff members that an anonymous hotline had received a 'complaint regarding possible emotional/mental abuse within the gymnastics team,' according to a copy of the email obtained through a public records request. The details of the report were redacted.
