Scandals involving three USF teams have marred McDermott’s tenure.
Joan McDermott’s time as the athletic director at the University of San Francisco is over after a tumultuous three-year tenure that included several scandals involving coach behavior as well as a run to the NCAA men’s basketball tournament earlier this spring.“These last six years have been very rewarding,” McDermott said in a release from the school.
“Joan has been an integral part of the athletics administration at USF for the past six years and we are grateful for her many contributions to the USF community,” said Charlie Cross, vice president for business and finance, in the release. The Dons’ men’s hoops team reached the West Coast Conference title game this season and earned a No. 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament, falling to No. 7-seeded Murray State in a thrilling first-round game. Shortly thereafter, coach Al Golden took a job at Florida and McDermott promoted assistant Chris Gerlufsen to lead the team.
Another pending lawsuit from former women’s basketball players accuses current coach Molly Goodenbour of abusive coaching tactics. A Sports Illustrated investigation published last September uncovered accusations of sexual harassment or abuse by men’s soccer players going back nearly 20 years.
