"Johnson-Klein testified that shortly after she was hired, then-athletic director Scott Johnson drove her into a car wash, leaned over, and put his hand on her breast. She said she pushed his hand away and said, "Stop. Don't." She said she felt humiliated and vulnerable. She said when they returned to campus, Scott Johnson put his hand on her leg and apologized.

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."

Maybe the tears will work.

"Fired Fresno State women's basketball coach Stacy Johnson-Klein broke down and cried several times Thursday as she testified in her sexual discrimination lawsuit against the university.

Johnson-Klein said since she was fired in early 2005, she's applied for numerous head-coaching jobs around the country. "I don't even get a call," she said.

She said her career has been wiped out by the allegations the university has made."

"Then in early November 2004, a Fresno State official wrote an e-mail to President John Welty, saying the coach was threatening a whistleblower complaint.

Johnson-Klein said that shortly after that, she received a phone call from another university official, who told her Welty had passed on a message -- "Never threaten me again."
