As Wichita State University continues to investigate why four women’s basketball players are choosing to transfer from WSU, another former player is speaking out with allegations against head coach Jody Adams. Samantha Smith, alleges racism, segregation and verbal abuse from Adams, including when Smith helped Adams recruit players. Smith said she had incidents of physical altercations with some of Adams’s former coaching staff. “With me helping her recruit, said she’d rather have black girls on her team and not white girls. She was just like, ‘Black girls are more athletic, and I just get along better with black girls.’ -James Kellerman, The Sunflower-
