Delaware State player's mother accuses basketball coach of verbal abuse

DOVER, Delaware  --  Delaware State University women’s basketball coach Tamika Louis is not handling the position’s duties as an internal investigation into her behavior is investigated amid allegations regarding the program, a school spokesman said Friday.

Carlos Holmes would not term Ms. Louis’s status as suspended, and said “the head coaching duties have been taken over by an assistant coach.” Earlier this week, the school said assistant Yvette Harris is taking on head coach responsibilities as the internal investigation continues.

Holmes said a letter received by DSU President Dr. Harry L. Williams concerning complaints and allegations related to the women’s basketball program prompted an investigation. The probe is being conducted by the school’s human resources department, according to DSU.

No school employees were available for comment, Holmes said.
