Former players say high school coach made them play strip basketball
REGINA — A professional misconduct hearing has begun into accusations that a teacher mistreated the girls on the basketball team she coached more than 30 years ago.
Martina Cain is now retired but until 2015 was the principal at Churchill Community High School in La Ronge, Sask.
Four former players, now all in their 40s, testified Tuesday that when she was coaching their team in the late 1980s, Cain bullied and body shamed them.
The witnesses told the regulatory board for Saskatchewan teachers that Cain made them play “strip basketball” during practices, having to remove an article of clothing each time they missed a shot.
