Grambling State University fired its women’s head volleyball coach after just five months.
President Rick Gallot and Dr. Trayvean Scott, vice president of intercollegiate athletics for Grambling, announced Chelsey Lucas’ termination on Tuesday following an internal investigation within the volleyball program.
Lucas was under fire for dismissing the entire volleyball team, leaving several students without their scholarships.
Lucas issued a statement about her about her unexpected termination:
“Since I started at Grambling, I have been ordered not to speak to the media. My voice has unfortunately been silenced despite the rumors and accusations about me. As a result, I have not been able to provide my side of the story about the many events that have occurred during my tenure as head volleyball coach at Grambling. I was told today, without notice or any opportunity for discussion, that I was being terminated. When I asked why I was being terminated, the administration was not able to provide me any details about why they decided to fire me.”
The university plans to begin searching for a new coach this week.
