Why was Juan Dixon fired from Copping State?
The firing of the head basketball coach came amid a sexual assault lawsuit. According to The Baltimore Brew, he was named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed against the University and an assistant coach over sexually explicit claims. A former player, Ibn Williams, sued and accused Coppin State assistant coach Lucian Brownlee of online catfishing. The online encounters later turned into graphic texts and photos. The legal document claimed that "by information and belief" Brownlee "harassed, tormented, and sexually assaulted" the player before publishing his intimate material online. Juan was named in the complaint filed against the University. It was reported that he failed to take action against Brownlee. Rather than supporting Williams, Juan claimed to have "questioned him harshly and retaliated against" him by withdrawing previously promised financial assistance. Williams claimed, "The way he treated was abhorrent." According to the complaint filed Juan had prior knowledge of the torment. But he never took an action on it. "The coach should have known better than to put this person in a position of seniority," said Williams' attorney Daniel "Donny" Epstein.
