Miami of Ohio women’s basketball coach DeUnna Hendrix resigned Wednesday after intimate text messages revealed she and a player were in a relationship, according to The Athletic's Chantel Jennings and Brian Hamilton.
The university initially suspended Hendrix on April 20, per a statement provided to The Athletic — the day after it reportedly discovered 180 texts between Hendrix, 38, and an unnamed player over an 11-day period. Thirty of the messages reportedly were considered "intimate" and included phrases such as “I love you," “You’re my baby, and “I. Can’t. Wait. To. Squeeze. You.”
