Former Northern Kentucky University coach Camryn Volz's contract was cut short following allegations of racial remarks, homophobia, and degradation of mental health. Additional claims suggest she created a fear-based and manipulative environment within the team.
. But former players are outraged by her “amicable” departure and hefty six-figure severance payout, telling The Daily Beast that her alleged misconduct goes way beyond the recent allegations that led to her exit.
According to the HR documents, “Volz defended her coaching style and described it wholly appropriate in a Division I basketball program.” She suggested that the players wouldn’t have complained had they won more games during the season.Despite all of these allegations, NKU HR officials ultimately concluded that Volz’s behavior did not violate the school’s policies.
All of these players were in agreement that Volz operated like a “bully” long before recent allegations derailed her career atop the basketball team. “We’re supposed to forgive, but this has been one person that I have a very hard time forgiving because of what she did to my daughter.” Sha’Rae Davis transferred in 2016 to Northern Kentucky University during her sophomore year to play for the Norse. She said her relationship with Volz went downhill fairly early on after an incident during a team scrimmage.
“Nothing’s worse than witnessing someone abusing your child and not being able to do anything about it,” Maggie lamented.Reece Mungar played for the NKU Norse from 2017 to 2019, until she transferred back home to Canada. At first, she loved playing for the university, but over time Volz’s abrasive coaching style wore on Mungar, and their relationship took a drastically negative turn when the young forward took a stand.
