Rowing Canada sanctions former head coach of B.C. varsity women's team - TSN.ca

The decision released Tuesday says the suspension of Barney Williams would be reversedif he complies with certain terms, including regular mentorship by a coach evaluator and completing course work that emphasizes coaching ethics and working with developing and female athletes.

The panel could not conclude that Williams's interactions with the other complainants amounted to a violation of the codes. It says the panel heard from 15 witnesses, including Copeland, who testified during hearings that she was excited at the start of the 2018-19 season and felt strong in her role as the team's only returning coxswain.

Copeland filed a lawsuit against Williams and the university last year alleging she suffered stress-induced physiological symptoms and that the school failed to provide her with a safe environment for training. "His 'direct feedback' approach with Ms. Copeland was unwelcomed and ultimately harmful to Ms. Copeland's well-being," the panel decision says.

"It is important to note that several women, many of them promising athletes, testified that coaching led them to leave the sport prematurely to the detriment of the sport and to these athletes," the decision says.
