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."
