Beckie Francis, Fired Oakland Basketball Coach, Accused of Mental and Emotional Abuse

While a pamphlet of sex alternatives from an Australian Christian school was amusing, this story of a coach taking an interest in her players' lives well beyond that of a normal coach is far from it 

Beckie Francis was fired from her position of women's basketball coach at University of Oakland on June 12th. Didn't hear about it? Well at the time it wasn't a big story.

The school joined Division I in 1997 but hasn't been what one might call an athletic powerhouse, so the news didn't make "the news."

Until last night. 

Everyone who has played sports has a story about a coach who was a jerk. Worked them too hard, expected too much, wasn't happy with anything.

Most of the time it turns out the coach was just trying to get the best out of the players and being 'hard' was the way they decided to go about it. Their actions rarely inflict lasting bad feelings, and in the end usually end up being to the players' benefit.

The women who played for Beckie Francis are telling their own "horrible coach" story and it's not one that has that element of wistful remembrance of a time and person that meant so much to them, a happy moment in their lives.

No, those players are telling the tale of a coach who would often question their religious practices, inviting them to her church. A coach whose constant monitoring of their weight led quite of few to the dark world of eating disorders. A coach who even inquired about their sex lives, insisting that they tell all who asked that they were virgins; Christian virgins. 

Beckie Francis has made news headlines before. Last fall she became a spokesperson of sort against sexual abuse, admitting to her own experiences of being sexually abused by her father. Now she is making headlines for a different kind of abuse, mental and emotional. 

When talking to the Detroit Free Press, former University of Oakland player, Stacey Farrell said that "mental abuse is definitely the two words that describe my three years there." According to other former players, many of who have requested to remain nameless in the press, Francis would join in practice with the players, only to touch their stomachs asking to "feel your sixpack".

Francis even went so far to ask one of her assistant coaches to take photographs of her players in their sports bras and spandex, "flexing their muscles" at different times so she had a record of their weight and appearance.

So why didn't these players go tell someone all this was happening? Besides the usual sports mentality of "coach knows best", Beckie Francis is married to the University president, Gary Russi. The same day that Francis was fired, it was announced that Russi would retire, effective August 1st. 

Many players that left the Oakland program have gone on to find success at other schools, but there are plenty more who have lost a love of the game and are left with a distrust of those who should be looked to for guidance.

Royal Baby Boy Arrives, Twitter Reacts With Joy, Humor

A healthy eight-pound, six-ounce boy born at 4:24 p.m. at St. Mary's Hospital in London today doesn't even have a name yet, but he needs no introduction.

He's the Royal Baby, people. A few hours ago, Kate Middleton gave birth to HRH Prince of Cambridge and future heir to the throne! Bow down!

The first child of Kate and Prince William is instantly third in British line of succession, behind William and his father Prince Charles (sorry Harry).

The British royals aren't the only ones celebrating Kate Middleton and Prince William's new addition. Celebrities on both sides of the Atlantic are ecstatic.

Or at least turning to Twitter for their best one-liners. See some of the reactions below:

Evan Rachel Wood to Paparazzi: Leave Kids Alone!

Pregnant Evan Rachel Wood is looking forward to the arrival of her baby with Jamie Bell, but having to deal with paparazzi is another story entirely.

With Kate Middleton giving birth to the Royal Baby earlier today, it's a subject that's particularly topical. Says the 25-year-old Wood on Twitter

"I believe kids should be protected, not public domain. When my baby comes I would greatly appreciate no support of any paparazzi photos."

"It starts with you," she continued. "Big thanks to anyone who understands."

"Lots of love… We know it wont eliminate the problem and it comes with the territory and all of that good stuff. But even a little goes a long way."

"It will get out either way, so yes we would like to be the ones to break the news when it arrives," a la Kate Middleton, the actress continues.

"Honestly I feel like people become more intensely private when they are being hounded by jerks all the time," she went on, rather intently.

"I feel like if we eliminated that people would share more cause they feel safe & in control of the situation. Fans can be fans. But they need to be aware."

What they're supporting, she says, "can be dangerous ... In other countries it is illegal or they blur the faces of children in pap photos. As they should."

"Paps while sometimes harmless can be very rude and become very aggressive and people do get hurt. Its scary to have around a baby."

The True Blood beauty was outraged this winter when The Daily Mail ran a photo showing her ultrasound picture in its celebrity gossip section.

"I have never been more violated by a photographer," she tweeted. "Thats the inside of my body and my child. Would u like my soul too? nothing is sacred."

Kris Humphries to Portray Himself on The Mindy Project

Move over, Kim Kardashian. Your ex is also about to make a splash on the small screen.

Only instead of getting naked and taking it from Ray J, Kris Humphries will be making a guest-starring appearance on an episode of The Mindy Project Season 2.

According to TV Guide, the Boston Celtics power forward will play himself.

It's unclear what brings The Hump into Mindy's world, although the sitcom's title character does often reference television and pop culture.

Last year, fellow NBA players Amar'e Stoudemire and Danny Granger also stopped by the series, showing up at a club Mindy and her colleagues frequented.

This gig will mark Humphries' first acting role, though many believe he was merely reading from a script every time he appeared on camera during his courtship of Kim.

Kardashian, meanwhile, has appeared on Drop Dead Diva and How I Met Your Mother and also helps anchor the legendary Ray J sex tape.

Kate Middleton Gives Birth to Royal Baby: It's a BOY!

The royal baby is here! The royal baby is here!

After many weeks of keeping the masses waiting on pins and needles and keeping us guessing as to her due date, Kate Middleton has given birth.

She and Prince William have welcomed a baby boy!

A royal aide just announced the joyful news moments ago with a proclamation signed by the doctors who delivered the little HRH Prince of Cambridge!

Well, not SO little. His weight (8 pounds, 6 ounces) and the time of its birth (4:24 p.m.) were confirmed, along with the gender, via press release.

An official gun salute in London's Hyde Park is expected shortly, and the bells of St Paul’s Cathedral are already ringing in honor of the future King.

Ever since Kate went into labor early Monday morning, Royal Baby Watch 2013 reached a fever pitch outside London's St. Mary's Hospital and worldwide.

Now that it's over, it's finally cause for celebration.

Kate Middleton and Prince William did not find out the gender beforehand, setting off a national guessing game (and online betting frenzy) for months.

They kept all facets of her pregnancy as private and low-key as possible.

When Kate and William did finally arrive at the hospital this morning, they did it their way, with no fanfare, no sirens and not even a police escort.

Just a dark Range Rover and a shiny new Audi nosing their way calmly through the traffic-free streets of London after dawn, cagily evading the media.

William has been by his wife’s side all week as they moved from Kate's parents house to Kensington Palace, just a mile from the hospital, last weekend.

Queen Elizabeth II now has three living heirs: Prince Charles, her eldest son, William, his eldest son, and the first-born son of William and Kate.

And, Her Majesty gets to go on holiday without missing this now. Phew!

Charles said: "Both my wife and I are overjoyed at the arrival of my first grandchild. It is an incredibly special moment for William and Catherine."

"We are so thrilled for them on the birth of their baby boy," he adds. "We are eagerly looking forward to seeing the baby in the near future."

The official confirmation notice says very little, only that Kate was "safely delivered of a son" and she and the baby are doing well. Check it out:

The succession rules were recently changed so that for the first time ever, Will and Kate's first baby would become the heir(ess), regardless of gender.

That was cool, but in the end, the traditionalists got their wish.

Our heartfelt congratulations to Kate, William, their families and everyone in the UK on the most celebrated moment since 

Just kidding. Although that was pretty cool to see, too.
