Do you work? Does your boss come on to you?  Does your boss threaten your job if you do not get physical with him?  I do not expect an answer, but understand they are not only athletes, they are a business token, if a business looks bad then they do not sell.  If the Sky get a negative headline, well you figure it out.  This is not right for the athletes on the team or for the fans of the Chicago Sky.  If you want that tongue to be bit then I shame you for such a thought.

If at some point someone other than just you and only you starts talking about this and/or Overton is fired for inappropriate behavior, I will issue a complete mea culpa.  Until that point, just call me Thomas, as in Doubting. 
 
Sorry Cinderella, I don't believe you because all you have is.....you.  I just need more than one anonymous internet person's word.  If I believe you in this, I also have to believe the guy that wrote "for a good time call (xxx)xxx-xxxx" on the bathroom wall.  After all, I know his sources as well as I know yours.

On top of idchafee's points, Cinderella, you have zero credibility here.  Time and again, you levee accusations at Bo Overton and NEVER ONCE has any proof been offered up or any source of your information listed.  I've proven you false on more than one occasion myself (not to mention all the other times others have proven you false).  If you did indeed have proof of what you're saying, why are you wasting your time posting it here instead of offering proof to someone in a position who could do something about it?  I'll answer my own question...it's because you have no proof and are simply trying to, ONCE AGAIN, antagonize Sky fans who blog here. 
 
It's just you acting the same dumb beating the same drum!  Same crap, different month.
 
As if your misinformation is not bad enough, you've deemed it worth your while (and, dare I say, fun!!!)  to verbally assault underage bloggers who enjoy posting on this website.  Your assertion that Stacey Dales is retiring is one very minor example of this (given that at least half a dozen kids who post here are hoping and praying she comes back - and have expressed their desire for her to come back in a previous topic posted in the "2008 Season" section).
 
Mrs. Cowens, or whoever you are, please just go away and let the young fans enjoy their message board and, indeed, their favorite basketball team.  Your antics, your attacks, and your falsehoods go way beyond not being welcome.

As a parent of one of the Sky players, it hurts me to admit that the information that Cinderella has provided in this "official" forum is true!  I have personal, first-hand knowledge of this whole mess and I was hoping that Margaret and Michael would have done the right thing at the end of last season, but they didn't.  I'm sure at some point, the Chicago Tribune will get wind of this, but women's basketball never gets the attention it deserves whether it's positive or negative.  I wish I could remove my daughter from that team and that coach, but, she's a grown woman now and she has to work this out herself.  I just ask each and everyone of you who read these sexual harassment comments made towards Bo Overton understand how painful it is to be the mother of one of these players...if I could, I would file charges against him and then personally beat his *s*&.  There is no room for sexuall harassment in any organization.

And do *YOU* have any proof, or are we expected to believe you because you tell us too as well?

edit: and if what you say is true and your daughter is still playing for him, why the hell is that??

edit II: I just spent the last 20 minutes googling every variation on "Bo Overton sexual harassment" I could think of.  I'd post my results, but there aren't any.  I just simply can't believe that the *only* people who know about this are one random anonymous person on an internet forum and another username that may or may not be related to the 1st person.

If that were indeed the case, that would definitely be something I'd want addressed.  I don't believe it to be the case here because you've given me nothing to believe except your word.  And I don't know you, I have no reason to believe you without any sort of support.  Sorry.

Anyone can Google 'Reporting Sexual Harrassment' and find a million ways to handle the situation, appropriately. That is assuming that there is harrassment going on and not just a smear campaign against Coach Overton.

On one hand...
 
Sexual harassment by coaches in girls/womens sports is extremely common. It's a huge problem that is often times overlooked and/or ignored.
 
On the other hand...
 
We're talking about Bo Overton here. If he is sexually harassing players on this team, then the Sky would get rid of him. He ain't Phil Jackson. He hasn't led us to 6-titles. He ain't Da Coach. He's not a beloved, iconic figure in Chicago sports. Why the hell would the Sky risk a PR nightmare and chose to stay loyal to Overton over the players...including our all-star? THAT doesn't make any sense. THAT'S why I put no credence in your accusations.
 
Not to mention that you're talking circles around yourself. I mean, the way you put it, either the front office doesn't care about the situation and is ignoring it or they do care and are hiring investigators to get to the bottom of it. Which is it?
 
Either way, I think it's in poor taste for you to hijack the board like this. Why on earth would any of us believe you? We don't know you and you don't have any proof. If you guys (Cinderella and Cody) have insider information or you know someone on the team and know for a fact that this is going on, posting it on this message board is NOT helping the cause. Go to the media. I don't know how effictive your average private investigator is, but I do know that if something is there, the media will dig it up in a hot second. Then the story will be published in a CREDIBLE and REPUTABLE manner and we can all have a real discussion about this.
 
In short, either step up and do something legit to prove your claims or close your mouth.
