Controversy

On March 11, 2016, FIU fired Chinn for an NCAA improper benefits rules violation, specifically a $600 loan to team captain Destini Feagin to resolve a school debt. The university suspended Chinn two weeks earlier, after Feagin accused Chinn of sexual harassment that persisted throughout the season.[1][2] FIU subsequently promoted assistant coach Tiara Malcom to head coach on April 8.[3]
