Hello Supporters,
Thank you all for contributing to our cause and creating a platform so that we could voice our concerns regarding the FORMER head coach of U.C. Riverside. Thats right, if you have not heard already, John Margaritis chose to resign after being put on leave without pay earlier this month. Through all the testimonies, background work, networking, and your support we were able to unite and bring justice to former players and coaching staff while protecting future players that commit to U.C. Riverside Women's Basketball program. We are ecstatic with the way things transpired regarding all your support, but still believe that it is necessary to demand accountability from A.D. Tamica Smith Jones. We also understand that without your support these severe issues may have been pushed under the rug like they have been for the past 15 years. With that being said, we can never thank you all enough for sharing and reposting our petition as well as following our story.
Also, we want to extend our unwavering support to Coach Giuliana Mendiola during this time. Unfortunately, Coach Mendiola's termination was one of the major catalyst for this movement and we want to wish her the best of luck moving forward.
Thank you all once again!!
Please read the following articles for details of how Margaritis resignation transpired as well as player testimonies.
