BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD (WBFF) — There is more turmoil at UMBC as the school has removed its head softball coach, Angie Nicholson, and her husband and assistant, Rick Nicholson, according to the parents of three players, after the assistant was accused of inappropriate conduct.
On two separate occasions earlier this month, Rick Nicholson brushed the chests of two players while attempting to swat away insects, the parents said.
When the second player objected to the contact, Rick Nicholson scolded the player, according to one parent. He walked into the dugout and threatened to cut the player, which was overheard and reported by an observer, two parents said. The following week, Rick Nicholson was informed that he would no longer be retained, and the parents said he was dismissed on Tuesday.
The parents said that players learned from athletic director Tiffany D. Tucker during an on-campus meeting on Sunday night that Angie Nicholson had been removed from her position. It’s not clear why Angie Nicholson was let go.
