Thinking the same thing.

Her suspension was December 2001
The Daily Reporter - Google News Archive Search

She was dismissed, I have first hand knowledge from someone very close to the program. It was stated as her decision, but she didn't have a choice.

That kind of first-hand knowledge is often referred to as second-hand knowledge.

Because Bill didn't think she needed to be kept around so he cut ties immediately?

Were you a division 1 athlete? If not, completely and totally different situations. She should be held to a higher standard than say I am as a normal student.

I think there are disagrements on if they should or not be heald to different standards. I happen to know they can be wilder than one would think.

Less angst but lots of interest because it's so unusual for a WBB team members.

Why would they kick the best looking player off the team? Sad day for ISU sports

If she was the best looking girl on the team that would make reason number 28 why I don't like women's basketball.

Youngblut played for Dav. Assumption. Per the link below, Fennelly has three nieces on the team. The coach this year is Mallory Youngblut. Is she related to Melissa?

Found the answer to my question. http://www.cyclones.com/ViewArticle..._ID=10700&ATCLID=205304761&PRINTABLE_PAGE=YES

With all the legacy interconnections here, I'll bet all sides were in agreement with the dismissal.

I never imagined this thread would reach 6 pages when I started it. I was just curious if anyone knew anything more about it....

Edit: Now 7 pages

Thank you for this! :yes: Her and Tracy Gahan used to sit right next to me in a class one semester which actually made the class something to look forward to 3 times a week.

This is from an earlier article:
Knights keeping up legacy

Davenport Assumption girls basketball coach Mallory Youngblut talks with Kate Fennelly on Jan. 10 during a game against North Scott.* (John Schultz / Quad-City Times)

... Mallory Youngblut, a 2006 Assumption graduate, took over the program barely two months removed from completing her playing career at North Dakota.

As improbable as it seems, three coaches in three years has hardly slowed the Assumption machine. That hasn't much surprised Jasmine Binion, who along with fellow senior Grace Fennelly played varsity for all three leaders.

"We're just as competitive as our coach," Binion said. "She hates losing more than anything, and that's how we are. I think that's a mentality she got coming through the Assumption program....

They won yesterday and play Ballard in the state semi-finals Thursday:
