This is one of those "odd but just keeps getting odder" stories. Let's see...co-owner of women's basketball team fires coach after an on-court incident. The co-owner is Sally Anthony, a 30-year-old "singer who also has her own record label and a Web site promoting female artists," who, just on first blush, appears to be in the middle of a power trip. The coach is Ashley McElhiney, who recently became the first female coach of a men's professional team last year.
But there are a few hints of something...odder.
Some time after the incident that night, Anthony ended up Vanderbilt hospital.
"I tripped on some stairs and hit my head last night," Anthony told The Tennessean. "Some people think that I did it on purpose, but I just tripped."
Anthony had a different story for The City Paper, claiming "a dog bit me and my back is really hurting."
And then it gets...uhm, different.
Hours after storming the court and firing her coach, Nashville Rhythm co-owner Sally Anthony was rushed to a hospital following a 911 call by a relative who said she had tried to "hurt herself."
A relative called 911 about 6 a.m. Sunday to report that Anthony was hurting herself, according to a 911 tape obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday.
"My sister-in-law is in her apartment right now, and she has taken some pills and mixed it with alcohol and taken scissors and cut up her arms," said the caller, who identified herself as Susan.
Mock the ABA if you will, but this is a lot more interesting than the NHL has been this year.
...Okay, is there anyone left who doesn't have Gmail who wants it? I seriously doubt so, but just in case, I have a few (read: 50) invites I'm not gonna use, so lemme know.
