What the HQ calls "ooey-Pooey" is what the rest of the civilzed, basketball world calls IUPUI- Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, or something close...
The school is launching an internal investigation into their women's hoops program where 28 players and assistant coaches have quit the squad in the last four years, including 19 scholarship players.
Eleven ex-players are accusing coach Shann Hart and associate head coach Chanel Spriggs of "emotional abuse" that is in the process of being investigated by a three-person on-campus panel.
A sampling of who Hart is can be found in this IUPUI TV ad...

From the Alesia article:
"...the gay rights advocacy group Indiana Equality sent a letter to (Chancellor Charles) Bantz and IUPUI athletic director Michael Moore, calling on them to "thoroughly investigate" claims of inappropriate questioning of sexual orientation.
One player told The Star that Hart asked explicitly about her sexual orientation. Others described a reckless postgame rant by the coach that centered on accusations of players breaking team rules by becoming involved in intimate relationships with each other.
Here's the piece that ran Sunday in the Star from Alesia, Heather Gillers, and Tim Evans... It's required reading...
Here's some highlights of the IUPUI/IPFW game from January, so you can get a look at who might be leaving after the season past... that went 3-26...

More when we know more...
The HQ is under the impression that things are getting warmed up...
Remember, IUPUI is currently under NCAA probation for the ever-popular "lack of institutional control." OSG Sports covered that particular NCAA decision back on April Fool's Day... the irony inescapable there...
So, they best tread lightly...
