"Stacy Johnson-Klein's coaching style during the 2004-05 season changed from the tough love that earned her players' admiration to the kind of verbal abuse that pierced their hearts, former Bulldogs basketball player Aritta Lane testified Monday in Fresno County Superior Court.
The Bulldogs thrashed San Jose State on the road that season, then were subjected to a postgame harangue by Johnson-Klein for not playing good enough and threats they may have to settle for a dinner of bologna sandwiches, Lane said."
Johnson-Klein said she went to her office and cried, but never told anyone because she was afraid of being fired.
She said a year later, Scott Johnson went into her office, put his hand on her leg, and asked her to go with him to his new cabin at Shaver Lake. She said she turned him down.
She also testified that at public events, Johnson would call her "My Miss America," or refer to "Johnson and Johnson," or call her a "looker" who would be able to sell tickets to games. She said that made her "frustrated, mad."
In earlier testimony, Scott Johnson denied making any improper advances toward Johnson-Klein.
Johnson-Klein also testified that former associate athletic director Scott Welniak sexually harassed her five separate times about her clothes and her body -- one time saying that she needed to "keep her breasts under wraps."
