Retired teacher denies forcing former students to play strip basketball
REGINA — A veteran, retired teacher has denied any professional misconduct with members of a girls’ basketball team she coached in the late 1980s.
Martina Cain testified in her own defence Wednesday at a disciplinary hearing into accusations made by four former students at Churchill Community High School in La Ronge, Sask.
Among the charges levelled by four former students, who are now in their 40s, is that Cain made them play “strip basketball” during practices, having to remove an article of clothing each time they missed a shot.
Cain told the hearing she believes the strip basketball happened, but said she was not present when it did.
