Jaime Wohlbach was fired on Monday as the softball coach for the University of Delaware.
And it is has unleashed a firestorm from the public.
She was dismissed just as the Blue Hens still had 15 games and month to go in the season.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that several former players had high praise for the coach with one former pitcher saying she was shocked.
But the paper also reports that there was some strong support for her dismissal, much of it in social media like Facebook.
The paper said one email sent to them claimed anyone who crossed her saw their playing time cut.
The News Journal says the announcement by the University did not indicate the reasons for her termination or why it took place now.
