A list of Ken Murczek’s coaching practices over the past 6 years. (UNT and WFU)
1. Players referred to as f_____ stupid, f_____ dumb, f_____ retarded.
2. Verbal tirades until some players are literally broken.
3. Put downs. Nothing is ever "good enough." Scholarships threatened.
4. Bad plays are the players fault. Good plays are because of coaching.
5. When players individually approached him with concerns there is long term retribution.
6. Forcing players to cheer during punishment drills then yell at the players for cheering.
7. Writing punishments were also given to individual players after answering obscure questions wrong. Player(s) were required to write the correct answer 50 times.
8. Throwing things at players
9. Players were coerced into hugging the coaching staff before and after practices as well as times players saw him on or off campus. Frontal hugs were preferred over side hugs. He tells players they must approach him and “greet” him if they see him "even if it makes their boyfriends jealous. Note:
All of the hugging ceased during and after the Title IX investigation.
10. Players think it is in their own best interest to act fake around recruits as to how things are really like.
11. Controlling food intake to the point players asked parents to “sneak in” food on road trips.
12. Pits players against players
13. The majority of past and present players have zero belief in athletic administration and school administration in the removal of Ken and thus are afraid to publicly go on the record.
14 When HBO was investigating, players were cautioned against speaking to the media by Ron Wellman. Players were provided a 12 year old newspaper article about women athletes being physically attacked and or even raped by those pretending to be media. So in other words best not to talk to media. This is the article provided to the team in 2014.

15. School admin is keenly and clearly aware of all of the above.
