Former Pitt women’s basketball players call coach Tory Verdi abusive, toxic in Title IX lawsuits

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Six former players on the women’s basketball team at the University of Pittsburgh have sued coach Tory Verdi and the school over what they call abusive coaching methods and say their efforts to seek help were ignored. “These players aren’t soft.
