Karen Dennis, the director of track and field and cross country, talks to the athletes after a practice.

KAYLEE HARTER Patricia B. Miller Special Projects Editor harter.830@osu.edu To say that Karen Dennis has been successful is an understatement.

The director of both the Ohio State men’s and women’s track and field and cross country teams, Dennis was named Big Ten Coach of the Year eight times, leading the teams to six combined Big Ten Conference titles.

This winter, she was the first female coach to win the men’s indoor championship. In December, she will be inducted into the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Hall of Fame.

The trail Dennis blazed began when her track and field coach at Michigan State, Nell Jackson, asked her to stay on as an assistant coach after she graduated. Dennis never planned to coach, but Jackson had preached there were too few women in coaching.

That was in 1977.

Today, female athletes are far less likely to have female mentors like Dennis had in Jackson.

“Just like Nell Jackson encouraged me to go into coaching, I’m trying to encourage other women to be leaders,” Dennis said. “Whether it’s in coaching or administration, look at it, because there’s just not enough and we’ve got to get some younger ones in the pipeline.”

After being enacted in 1972, Title IX worked to prohibit sex-based discrimination in education, causing the size and scope of women’s athletics to grow dramatically, but a Lantern analysis of coaching records showed the share of women in coaching has reduced to a fraction of its size since then.

Eight of the nine women’s teams at Ohio State were coached by women in 1972. In 2018, there are still eight teams coached by women.

However, there are now 13 women’s teams.

BuckeyeThon attracts thousands of participants each year, all for the purpose of raising money for pediatric cancer research and treatment.

In an effort to foster more of a community among international students, first-year in computer science information Jacob Chang and second-year in biomedical engineering Han Luu decided to create their own group: the first ever official international BuckeyeThon team.

“We’re going to organize this kind of team and try to bring different countries, different backgrounds, different cultures together to join the team and try to work towards a single goal, which is raising money for BuckeyeThon,” Chang said.

BuckeyeThon teams are established in November in order to raise money collectively, as well as participate in the Dance Marathon in February.

Chang and Luu originally got the idea for their team from working with the International Student Council, an organization that aims to serve as a bridge between international students and the rest of Ohio State’s population.

“In International Student Council we have different delegations, different international organizations, so the first time we discussed this, we wanted a team that represented the international students,” Chang said.

Chang said he was interested in BuckeyeThon, but noticed there weren’t many other international students that participated or even knew about the event.

“This is another problem because the international students don’t really know what Buckeye-

To Nicole LaVoi, author of “Women in Sports Coaching” and a leading scholar on female coaches, this is a problem that transcends sports.

“Who we see and who we don’t see in the most powerful positions in sports matters because it tells us who is valued and who is not and who is competent and who is not,” LaVoi said. “At a place like a Ohio State that is one of our premier flagship sports programs of the country, who the heck coaches at Ohio State matters.”

Organization collects gifts for underprivileged youth ASIA ATUAH For The Lantern atuah.3@osu.edu For some kids in the greater Columbus area, the holidays are coming early this year.

Santa’s Helpers — an initiative started by student organization Royalty — has been collecting new or gently used toys every Tuesday since the start of November to be delivered to underprivileged children across Columbus during the holiday season, including donations of gift wrap, boxes and money.

Royalty is a student organization that focuses on elevating underrepresented minority women through community service.

Precious Brown, a fifth-year in psychology at Ohio State and vice president of Royalty, said she feels that in giving, the group is “also getting something back.”

“We get to exchange these stories and share with other people, helping those who might be going through the same thing,” Brown said.

Logan Johnson, a fifth-year in political science, criminology

and criminal justice and president of Royalty, said the organization helps to build a sisterhood of black women of all ages.

“We do that through mentorship and community service,” Johnson said. “We try to build a bond through our different service activities.”

Although the organization is still deciding where the gifts will be sent, it has gone one step further to ensure the gifts are delivered “with a big, red bow on top.”

“We are doing a gift wrapping event, so people can come and wrap gifts, as well as write cards to go along with the gifts,” Johnson said.

Royalty has facilitated other volunteer programs at places such as Huckleberry House, the YMCA Van Buren Center, YWCA and Columbus City Preparatory School for Girls through a mentorship program.

Johnson said this is Royalty’s first time doing the initiative and will likely make Santa’s Helpers an annual event.

“Every organization has signature events, and we want this one to be ours,” Johnson said.

COACHING FROM 1

Ohio State athletic administrators said they favor female coaching candidates for women’s teams. The university does, in fact, have a higher percentage of female coaches than schools such as Purdue and Indiana, where only about one-third of teams are coached by women.

“We want to hire the best person, the most qualified, for our student athletes, of course, but we certainly lean heavy to making sure we have a pool where women have an opportunity to interview and hopefully win the job,” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said.

“The men who were athletic directors just kind of weeded out the female administrators . . . That’s it. That’s what happened.”

However, a Lantern analysis of recent coaching employment applications shows that this commitment does not always translate to a female hire.

Where did the women go?

The most rapid decline in the coaching of Big Ten women’s teams occurred throughout the 1970s. In 1973, the number of female coaches fell from 74 percent to 51 percent in 1981. Then, in 1990, the share of women in coaching increased slightly, reaching 59 percent before hitting an alltime low of 46 percent in 2008.

For the past five years, the proportion of women in coaching has stagnated at 49 percent.

Santa’s Helpers have been gathering toys every Tuesday since November to deliver to underprivileged kids.

Brown said the organization wants students on campus to understand the true spirit of the holiday season through giving and compassion.

“Some people don’t have any place to go, or they don’t have a family to go to, or they don’t get that Thanksgiving family experience,” Brown said. “Be grateful for what you have. There are

many opportunities to give, even if it’s just your time.”

Johnson said the event helps enhance Royalty’s emphasis on community-building among black women.

“I just really want black women to understand what we can accomplish when we work together.

It’s unlimited. We have such big hearts, but we’re so tough,” John-

son said. “Sometimes these two clash, but here, they don’t have to. We’re tough enough to make it happen, because we have the heart.”

Santa’s Helpers will have two final donation days from 2:15 to 3:15 p.m. on Nov. 27 and Dec. 3 in the Barbie Tootle Room at the Ohio Union.

Ohio State has seen similar trends. In 1973, the university had 90 percent of women’s teams being coached by females, but then hit a low of 43 percent in both 1997 and 2002.

Since 2006, the percentage of women in coaching positions has fluctuated between 64 and 57 percent — a difference of one coach.

Title IX was supposed to ensure a lack of representation wouldn’t happen. Though central to cases of sexual harassment and assault in recent years, it served primarily to create equal opportunities in education and sports at its onset.

In many ways, it did.

Big Ten schools added more than 100 teams in six years. But while the number of teams continued to rise, the number of female coaches did not. Four years after Title IX was established, there was just one fewer female coach in the conference than there is today. There are now 49 more teams.

40 years, really speaks to the fact that men have a legitimate dual pathway into coaching and women don’t,” LaVoi said.

In other words, as the number of coaching positions available increased, so did the opportunities for men and the competition for women.

“The changes that I’ve recognized have made it more difficult for a lot of women,” Smith said. “The financial gain is just as high on the women’s side. Before it wasn’t.

Now it is. That increased the competition for women to get head jobs because there’s more men that have ventured into that space.”

Hession witnessed these changes firsthand.

As the first female golfer at Southern Methodist University in Texas, she watched the program transform in the course of her collegiate career.

naments, no coaches and no places to practice. She would walk down to a small plot of open land on campus and hit golf balls until the band came to practice.

Throughout her time at SMU, things started to change — the team won a national championship her senior year.

The changes continued throughout Hession’s 27 years as a coach at Ohio State. When she first started, she didn’t have an assistant and also served as the golf course manager.

Hession said everything from facility availability to uniforms have improved since then, making coaching positions more appealing to men and increasing the competition in the pool of applicants.

“The money has gotten so much greater than when I first started coaching that I think that’s where a lot of the men are now thinking, ‘OK I could actually make a living, you know, coaching on the ladies’ side as well,’” Hession said.

Dennis attributes the diminishing share of women to something else.

During the first decade of Title IX, women’s athletics were governed by the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, which meant women’s sports had separate championships, athletic departments and leadership than men’s sports.

Dennis’ coach Nell Jackson, for example, was the director of women’s athletics at Michigan State.

Then, in 1982, women’s sports were included under the umbrella of the NCAA, a merging of men’s and women’s athletic departments resulted in male athletic directors taking over programs.

Jackson, an Olympian with a Ph.D., was one such director who lost her leadership position to a man, causing her to leave Michigan State and her position with the track team. Dennis took over as the Spartans’ head coach.

“The men who were athletic directors just kind of weeded out the female

Thon is and they don’t know they have the chance to help all those children who have pediatric cancer,” he said.

Due to the lack of involvement from their international peers, Chang and Luu weren’t sure how well their idea was going to be received.

“Because it’s our first year, and also our first time joining BuckeyeThon, it’s actually pretty hard for us to reach out to students from different countries,” Luu said.

Another major challenge for Luu was learning about the fundraising aspect of BuckeyeThon. She said she didn’t know much about reaching out to potential donors, raising money or organizing a fundraising event.

However, Luu was able to get help from her peers in the International Student Council.

“Because we are a part of the International Student Council, we have other students to ask, and they were doing the same thing [fundraising] so it was actually kind of nice,” she said.

After learning more about the history, mission and cause of BuckeyeThon, Chang said they “started going to different organizations to try to bring people into recruitment.”

In the end, Chang and Luu were able to recruit 16 members. The team has raised $2,548 so far.

“After we posted the link for the fundraising on Facebook, Instagram and other social media, we actually got a lot of funding from our friends and family,” Chang said.

Chang said creating the team helped him navigate campus life as an international student. Upon first arriving to Ohio State — and America — he had many concerns.

“Before I got here, I was like, ‘Well, I’m going to America as a foreigner, so I will be different than domestic students,’” Chang said. “So, I’m thinking about the questions: Will the domestic students accept me, or can I actually make good friends anymore, or should I finish my status alone for the whole four years and come back to China without any friends and connections back to America?”

As a co-captain and member of the international BuckeyeThon team, however, Chang said he feels much more connected to Ohio State and the Buckeye community.

“I was trying so hard to fit in, but the whole BuckeyeThon family makes me feel like this is very easy,” Chang said Being a transfer student from California, Luu also found that getting involved with the International Student Council and the BuckeyeThon team helped her feel more connected to the campus community.

“As an international student, there’s a lot of boundaries. In order to really overcome it, you have to engage and [get involved] in student activities, because that’s the way you can get good friendships and good mentorships to guide you through your four or five years here,” she said.

administrators,” Dennis said. “That’s it.

That’s what happened.”

Today, Sandy Barbour of Penn State is the only female athletic director in the Big Ten. For this reason, Dennis said she often tells women interested in coaching to consider administration.

“We need more voices at the table that are making decisions,” Dennis said.

Hiring practices With an absence of female administrators, LaVoi said it is important for athletic directors to make an overt commitment to hiring women.

“When athletic directors are very explicit about valuing and supporting women, that is really at the fabric of the culture that they’re creating within their athletic department, then that’s probably a really high-level way of thinking about best practice,” she said.

This is especially important because athletic departments rarely have policies in place regarding female candidates.

Gene Smith said having a diverse administrative staff, which includes two female deputy athletic directors, and creating a diverse committee to make hiring decisions are necessary to bring in a wide array of candidates.

“It starts with being purposeful. You have to have an intent to make sure that you’re providing an opportunity for women to win the job and that’s in the interview process. So we’re very intentional about that,” Smith said.

This commitment likely translates to Ohio State’s above-average share of women in coaching. Of the 14 Big Ten schools, only two — Illinois and Minnesota — have a higher percentage of women in coaching. Michigan has an equal split.

“Gene Smith, he hires women,” Dennis said. “He hires women. He promotes women, as well as minorities.”

Despite the diverse committee and apparent consideration of female candidates, the result is not always a female hire.

In 2016, Jarred Martin was hired as the first male Ohio State field hockey coach in program history. For Martin, a coach’s gender is less important than how a coach connects with his or her athletes.

“I think when you’re in the coaching world, I don’t think it’s necessarily a male-to-female difference,” Martin said.

“I think the ones who are really successful know who they are as a person and know how they want to coach and relay that message.”

A Lantern analysis of 23 applications for the Ohio State field hockey head-coaching position showed more than half of applicants were women, and three of the four applicants who had equal or greater experience than Martin were women.

Smith also said the gender distribution within these applications is not necessarily representative of other sports such as basketball and soccer, for which he would expect to see a greater number of male applicants.

“The money changed things,” he said.

“So what you had happen in women’s COACHING CONTINUES ON 7

First-ever Sonic Temple + Art Music Festival to replace Rock on the Range CHASE RAY Arts & Life Editor ray.461@osu.edu Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival, Columbus’ newest concert and comedy event, announced Monday that it will replace the popular rock festival Rock on the Range at MAPFRE Stadium in May. During its 12-year-run, Rock on the Range, one of America’s largest and most acclaimed rock music festivals, had routinely sold out each year. Now, the new festival will span three days, bringing top musicians, art installations and comedy performances to Columbus from May 1719.

Independent U.S. music festival producer Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents, is one of the co-creators of Rock on the Range, and has also organized music festivals such as Chicago Open Air, Louder Than Life and Welcome to Rockville. Wimmer said he is happy with the past success of Rock on the Range, but wants to bring a better and more expansive festival experience to Columbus.

“I am so proud of what we accomplished with Rock On The Range,” Wimmer said.

“With the debut of Sonic Temple Art + Music Festival, we’re excited to bring our devoted rock fans and the city of Columbus a one-of-a-kind, world-class event that expands on the festival experience.”

Sonic Temple will feature dozens of acts over the weekend, but main festival headliners include Foo Fighters, System of a Down, and Disturbed. The headliners will be joined by Bring Me the Horizon, Ghost,

Chevelle, Halestorm, Lamb of God, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, The Cult and many other up-and-coming acts.

The festival will also feature a Comedy & Spoken Word Tent, which will include stand-up comedy sets from Andrew Dice Clay, Pauly Shore and other acts to be announced at a later date. The tent will also showcase a spoken word set from renowned punk musician and actor Henry Rollins.

Wimmer has been producing concerts and festivals since 1993, but said he hopes Sonic Temple + Art Festival will turn into a haven for rock music fans.

“The idea behind Sonic Temple is walking into something bigger than yourself, where you belong, or where you were always meant to be. The crowd is unparalleled, and the energy is electrifying, like going to a place of worship,” Wimmer said. “We want this festival to be a temple of rock ‘n’ roll. We want this to be the ultimate rock experience for the true fans who love the genre as much as we do.”

General admission packages for the entire weekend range from $99 to $199, VIP packages begin at $379 and RV camping packages begin at $250.

General admission, VIP and Premium VIP tickets and hotel and camping packages for the festival will go on sale Nov. 30 at noon. More information on the festival can be found at sonictemplefestival.com.

Emotional support animal requests on the rise TRISTAN RELET-WERKMEISTER Lantern reporter relet-werkmeister.1@osu.edu A growing number of Ohio State students have emotional support animals this academic year, which helps them cope with diseases often linked to mental health.

ESAs’ functions are to relieve loneliness and help with depression, certain phobias and anxiety, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act National Network.

“Both locally and nationally, the requests for ESAs are trending up,” Scott Lissner, ADA coordinator at Ohio State, said in an email.

However, it is unknown exactly how many Ohio State students have ESAs due to student enrollment at the university not being tracked and the two offices in charge of approving ESAs not sharing data, Lissner said.

The vast majority of ESAs are dogs, but cats can be registered as well. Lissner also said other species can be registered as ESAs, but it is challenging to get them approved as they usually do not all have standard vaccinations.

“Any student requesting a letter of support for an ESA must be in treatment with a medical professional,” said Shonali Raney, associate director of clinical services at Counseling and Consultation Services.

When assessing the qualification of an ESA, psychologists must confirm the individual has a diagnosis they feel rises to the level of disability, according to the

ESA documentation laws. Psychologists must also explain how the animal helps the patient, along with the negative effects the person experiences when the animal is not with them.

Aurora Song, a fourth-year in journalism, said she used to suffer from depres-

sion. Tarzan, her emotional support dog, is officially registered as an ESA to help prevent her depression from returning.

Song said her dog serves as motivation to stay healthy and keep going whenever she begins to feel symptoms of her depression resurfacing, such as hopelessness.

Lissner also has to check health information about the animal to make sure its presence will not pose any health risk to the residential environment. Song said she didn’t know Ohio State provided ESA approval services, so she registered her dog online, which she said was an easy process.

“Most websites are not legitimate,” Lissner said. “I encourage students to work with their doctors for good referrals that will consider the whole of the student’s circumstances rather than narrowly prescribe.”

Students with ESAs can sometimes struggle to find living arrangements off campus that allow pets. However, the Fair Housing Act states that tenants cannot be discriminated against because of their disability — therefore the landlord is obligated to provide reasonable accommodation.

ESAs, which usually do not qualify as service animals, might qualify as a “reasonable accommodation,” meaning a nopet rule or a pet deposit is waived because ESAs are not legally considered pets.

Landlords are allowed to ask for proof of the animal’s ESA status, but cannot request documentation on the disability of the tenant, according to the ADA National Network website.

Research published in February in the research journal BMC Psychiatry concluded that people with mental health issues benefited positively from living with pets. However, further research is needed to know the nature and the extent of this relationship.

College students aware of smartphone overuse TRISTAN RELET-WERKMEISTER Lantern reporter relet-werkmeister.1@osu.edu Within the depths of the Ohio Union, Miriam Alghothani sits at a desk in a windowless room.

Every week, she works in such a room for a student organization with which she is involved. To better focus on her work, Alghothani puts her smartphone on “Do Not Disturb” mode.

Alghothani, a fourth-year in pharmaceutical sciences, considers herself nomophobic — having a fear of being without her smartphone — to a mild degree. Even though she uses her smartphone less than the national average, which is 3 hours and 23 minutes per day according to digital research database Emarketer, she is part of one of the most exposed age groups to nomophobia: college students.

Alghothani has a special connection to her smartphone, and the same goes for Aya Amin, a fourth-year in human nutrition dietetics. Relatives have said the students spend too much time on their phones, and they are aware that this overuse causes a dependency.

Both students utilize the “Screen Time” feature, which allows Apple users to monitor and limit their time spent on their smartphones. Thanks to this feature, they know they spend most of their time on social media, primarily Snapchat.

Even though Alghothani said she is not addicted to her phone in the medical sense, she recognizes being a “keen user,” and decided to take measures to reduce her daily use.

“It’s an emergency and safety protection, a social connection point … and sometimes it’s annoying,” Alghothani said about her smartphone.

Alghothani said she believes smartphone apps are intentionally designed to make people spend more time on their phone. She noticed that her apps gathered data on what she watched, liked and read and then showed her related and similar content that encouraged her to stay connected a bit longer.

According to the screen time feature, Alghothani uses her smartphone for 2 hours and 30 minutes on average per

day. She said she sometimes feels slightly harassed by her own smartphone due to the plethora of texts she receives from her family and friends throughout the day.

“I feel a constant need to have [my smartphone] wherever I go,” Amin said.

According to the NMP-Q test, a 20-item questionnaire designed by the University of Iowa to diagnose nomophobia, Amin would be categorized as “quite nomophobic.”

Alghothani and Amin both said they use the “Do Not Disturb” mode while studying, sleeping or working, as it allows users to silence calls, alerts and notifications while their device is locked. They also said they avoid using their smartphone while spending time with friends or relatives, as they consider it to be disrespectful.

Amin said she is on her phone for an average of 3 hours and 30 minutes per day, and relies on it for “basically everything.” She said she consider herself slightly dependent on her smartphone.

However, Alghothani said she tried taking a month off social media at one point not only to help her focus on her graduate school tests, but to also evaluate the addictive qualities of owning a smartphone.

“It was surprising, I thought I would [have withdrawal effects],” Alghothani said. “After the first day I was fine. I kind of felt free.”

Alghothani said she views using her smartphone as a way to reward herself, after completing a homework assignment for example. But in some cases, she said she feels the need to carry her phone with her, mostly when she walks home alone.

Although Amin and Alghothani are taking steps to reduce their dependence, smartphones are a necessity for college students, and Alghothani said she believes nomophobia has to be very common among the demographic.

“I don’t think I’m alone in that,” she said.

CASEY CASCALDO | PHOTO EDITOR

Ohio State redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins (7) celebrates after redshirt junior wide receiver K.J. Hill scored a touchdown in the second half of the game against Michigan on Nov. 24. Ohio State won 62-39.

HASKINS FROM 8

That is one area Haskins said he has most improved on over the course of the season: becoming a leader of the offense and taking the steps that every quarterback needs to in order to be successful, such as knowing protections and picking up blitzes.

“I feel like I have gotten better with that every game and gotten all the tools I needed through coaching,” Haskins said. “All the trust I’ve gotten from the players keeps getting better and I think that has shown on the field.”

Meyer, who calls the quarterback position one of the most unique in all of sport, said this

level of leadership is an obligation.

“What he’s asked to do — and coaches aren’t on the field, there’s 10 other guys looking at him every snap,” Meyer said. “You better give the right answer and they better trust and believe in him.

And our guys certainly do.”

Meyer always refers back to one play against Maryland that defines Haskins’ development.

With less than four minutes left to go in the fourth quarter, Ohio State trailed Maryland 38-31.

Haskins ended an 11-play, 75yard drive by taking a snap and pushing himself across the offen-

sive line for his second rushing touchdown of the day.

“The Maryland game was one that he dropped his pads and dropped some other things probably, too,” Meyer said. “At the toughest time in the game against, once again, a defense, a very good defense, and got that yard.”

But these accomplishments represent more to Haskins than just personal success. To him, it’s the work the offensive line and the receivers have done. It’s the team success, leading the No. 2 pass offense in the country.

He knows the records that have been broken were significant and where they have placed him in terms of his place in Ohio State history.

Haskins will reflect on that at one point, but not right now.

“I can’t take too long on it because there’s another game to play,” Haskins said. “So I probably won’t think about the records or the stats I have broken until after the season.”

Haskins still has something to do, something to add to his toolbox: a Big Ten Championship and a chance to play in the College Football Playoff.

For Meyer, Haskins is not done proving himself.

“Offensive football is a 10-yard war. Win each war,” Meyer said.

“And however you get that first down, get the first down. And that’s how we approach it.”

COACHING FROM 3

basketball, you had more men switching over to coaching women because of the salaries. So if we advertise that, again, you’ll see a lot more men than you will see women in a women’s basketball search … It’s really sport specific.”

These differences can be seen not only with applicants, but with current coaches in the Big Ten; 89 percent of women’s field hockey teams are coached by women, which compares with 50 percent of women’s soccer teams and 8 percent of women’s swim teams.

“The lack of women is not the problem. The lack of women is a symptom of a culture in sports that doesn’t value and support women. Period.”

NICOLE LAVOI Author of “Women in Sports Coaching”

These discrepancies do not exist due to a shortage of qualified female candidates, LaVoi said.

“The lack of women is not the problem,” LaVoi said. “The lack of women is a symptom of a culture in sports that doesn’t value and support women. Period.”

One of the field hockey applicants in 2016 was Tracey Griesbaum, a former University of Iowa coach of 14 years who was fired in 2014 after a pattern of complaints of abusive behavior, according to a statement from the university.

Martin’s record is one of success.

During Martin’s 10 years on Duke University’s coaching staff, beginning as an assistant coach in 2007 before being promoted to associate head coach in 2013, the team made seven NCAA tournament appearances and had a winning record of 124-79. In 2016, the team was the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament.

At Ohio State, Martin took the team from a 6-11 record in 2016 to 10-9 in 2017.

Martin led the team to the Big Ten semifinals in 2018, finishing with a record of 12-8.

“You have to be better” The challenges for women don’t end once they are hired.

Dennis said she feels pressured to walk a line between being aggressive and intimidating — a common difficulty for women, LaVoi said.

“Male coaches are permitted to use a wide range of coaching methods while female coaches are not,” LaVoi said. “A male and a female coach could have the same behavior, and the male is just coaching, and the female is being mean.”

Despite Dennis’ success, she said some people still question her aptitude.

“I mean sometimes I’ve heard people say, ‘She got that particular job because she’s a minority,’ and then that kind of rubs me wrong,” she said.

“I can’t help my gender or my race, but what I can do is prove to you from a competitive standpoint that I am as good as you,” Dennis added. “I have to negate some of those stereotypical attitudes that still prevail. That’s kind of been a challenge.”

Female coaches even face discrimination from recruits.

Griesbaum denied this claim and filed a lawsuit for wrongful termination on the basis of gender discrimination. The university paid Griesbaum a settlement of $1.5 million, according to news reports. Griesbaum is now a volunteer coach at Duke.

Smith declined to comment on whether these allegations were a factor in his hiring decision.

Within a month of Martin’s hiring, Kevin Wilson was hired as Ohio State football’s offensive coordinator, despite resigning as Indiana’s head coach amid allegations of improper treatment of injured athletes.

LaVoi said the varying handling of athlete complaints against male and female coaches is common and athletic directors do not always use consistent processes when investigating player complaints against coaches. She called it one of the many double standards female coaches face.

Smith said he’s confident in his decision to hire Martin.

“Jarred was the best coach,” Smith said.

“Keep in mind our priority is to find the best coach for our situation. We had a slight rebuilding situation, so compared to the other candidates in the pool, including the women, he was the best coach. We owe our student athletes, making sure we get the best coach.”

“I realized I was losing kids because there just weren’t enough visible females in a leadership coaching position,” Dennis said. “So then it just became personal to me and I’m just like, ‘This has got to stop.’”

Smith said he has met with teams to discuss what they’d like to see in their next coach and on a number of occasions, athletes told him they would prefer a male coach.

“Most of them had men all their lives, but that means they don’t know,” Smith said. “They just don’t know what they don’t know.”

In general, Dennis said women are held to higher standards.

“Look, if you’re a woman, you’re gonna learn this. You have to be better,” Dennis said. “Because there’s always gonna be a guy that wants your position. So the only way you’re gonna keep your position is you gotta be better than all the guys. You gotta be the best, and don’t be shy about it.”

For women who have families, coaching can pose further challenges, especially with growing expectations of time commitment for coaches.

“I probably do four times more than what I did at the beginning,” Hession said. “If I had kids — it’s hard enough with two dogs — I can’t imagine I would be able to do the job the way that I do it living without

a family. And I admire a lot of the ladies’ coaches that have children.”

Smith said creating an environment that supports women with families is an important part of retaining coaches.

“It’s slightly different for a mother,” he said. “I think there’s a lot of environments still today that aren’t sensitive to that. We need to continue to try to nationally get people, athletic directors, my colleagues and others to understand that.”

Moving forward Regardless of these challenges, hiring and retaining female coaches is important for both athletic departments and athletes.

“Really, it becomes a business imperative for schools that want to be competitive and they want the best talent,” LaVoi said.

“If they’re not recruiting women, they’re missing half the talent pool.”

Furthermore, LaVoi said coaches can be essential leaders for their athletes.

“We know same-sex role models matter,” LaVoi said. “We want a workforce that reflects the student athletes so if you’re thinking about women’s teams and you have mostly male coaches, what message is that sending to our young women?”

Coaches such as Martin have found creative ways to provide these same-sex role models to his players.

“We bring in people that can help mentor in other ways,” Martin said. “We’ll bring in a successful CEO, maybe a woman who’s a CEO of a bank. It’s something they can relate to and it’s something that they can see that these ideas that you have for life are completely obtainable and that you have a lot of people around you that are gonna help you get it.”

It’s not to say that men cannot be good mentors for women; male mentors played important roles in both Dennis’ and Hession’s careers. Hession’s coach, Earl Stewart Jr., became a father figure to her after her father passed away. She still speaks of him with tears in her eyes.

“The things I learned from that guy, still, I often think about what he told me. Even now,” Hession said.

Men such as Jim Bibbs, who coached Dennis during her high school years and was the men’s track coach at Michigan State when she began coaching, served as important mentors for Dennis. This is one reason Dennis thinks athletic departments should strive for a diversity of perspectives.

“You know you can’t have just all women,” Dennis said. “Most of the major movements in the country have also been assisted by men. There’s some great brothers out there who want to see women do some amazing things.”

In an ideal world, LaVoi said more than 50 percent of women’s teams, as well as at least 25 percent of men’s teams, would be

coached by women.

“At the current rate it’s pinching up, I’ll be dead before that happens,” she said.

Half of the Big Ten teams, including Ohio State, meet LaVoi’s standard for women’s teams, but none meet the standard for men’s teams.

Dennis and Hession are the anomaly; there are two other women leading men’s teams in the Big Ten. These coaches are evidence that progress is happening, if ever so slowly.

Had Hession been told that she would be director of both the men’s and women’s programs at the beginning of her career she would have said, “Not possible.”

Are the barriers for women in coaching beginning to break down?

“No doubt about it,” she said.

For Dennis, women in roles such as hers is a big part of continuing this breakdown.

“I think me being here in this position and having more women in this position helps the guys because first of all they realize, you know what, there can be women bosses,” she said.

“That’s not to diminish who you are,” she added. “But at the same time, get used to high-achievement women.”

How the analysis was done All calculations were based on available data in the Big Ten Conference Book 2017-18 and include all teams currently in the Big Ten Conference.

Coaches for the current season were determined by listings on university’s athletics websites. There might be small inconsistencies due to overlap in years of coaching.

Where the Big Ten records listed overlap, the newer coach was listed for that year unless The Lantern could confirm otherwise.

Directors of programs were counted as head coaches as they were in Big Ten records. Coaches who coached multiple teams were counted for each team.

Rutgers’ diving program has been excluded from 1972-1992, although a program existed, because The Lantern was not able to confirm the gender of coaches during this time. Coaches for Rutgers’ rowing were also unavailable prior to 1993.

MEN’S SOCCER

Men’s soccer team had unsuccessful season, but have “laid the foundation” for a better one. | ONLINE

Dwayne Haskins finds place in Ohio State history COLIN GAY Sports Editor gay.125@osu.edu As Ohio State redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins took the field against Michigan on Saturday, he knew what to expect. He had faced the Wolverines before, leading the Buckeyes to 17 unanswered points and a 31-20 victory in Ann Arbor in 2017.

That part of the story is well-documented, laying the groundwork for the beginning of the Haskins era at Ohio State. But head coach Urban Meyer saw something from the then-redshirt freshman a week prior.

With a 38-0 lead against Illinois on Nov. 18, 2017, Haskins got the call to come into the game with about six minutes left in the first half. After handing the ball off to then-freshman running back J.K. Dobbins for 12 yards, Haskins dropped back and was sacked for 12 yards.

His first drive in the second half was not much better, fumbling the ball and watching Illinois defensive back Ahmari Hayes return it 54 yards for the score.

In the middle of the pouring rain, Haskins faced adversity for the first time, something that, in Meyer’s opinion, was vital to his success against Michigan the following week.

“He was filling his toolbox,” Meyer said. “Because he certainly would not, in my opinion, would not have been able to do that in the rivalry game last year. And obviously the way he’s been playing, it’s just constant experience and filling the

With each pass he throws, each touchdown he scores, Haskins has placed himself, statistically, as one of the best quarterbacks Ohio State has ever had.

He holds the Ohio State single-season records for six different categories, including total offense (4,130). He is 142 yards away from breaking former Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson’s Big Ten record set in 2010.

“I’m not done yet, but I want to be one of the best to ever do it when I get done playing here at this university.”

toolbox.”

From that moment on, Meyer said Haskins has been “filling his toolbox” consistently, finding his place as starting quarterback at Ohio State.

Saturday, in his second Michigan game and his first as the starting quarterback, Haskins showed that his toolbox could be full.

Facing the No. 1 pass defense in the country, Haskins completed 20-of-31 pass

attempts for 396 yards, tying his career high with six passing touchdowns. He also broke the single-season Big Ten records for touchdown passes (41) and passing yards (4,003).

With these numbers brings a level of confidence that the starting quarterback showed after the 62-39 win on Saturday.

“I’m not done yet, but I want to be one of the best to ever do it when I get done playing here at this university,” Haskins said.

One of three wide-receiver captains, redshirt senior Terry McLaurin is considered one of the main vocal leaders for the offense.

However, over the course of the season, through what he considered as ups and downs against then-No. 15 TCU and a road win against then-No. 12 Penn State, McLaurin watched as a quarterback with tremendous throwing ability turned into the leader that the position needs.

“He has always had the physical talent, never questioned that,” McLaurin said.

“But to see him be more vocal and take charge of our offense and our team is what you want to see going down the stretch.”

HASKINS CONTINUES ON 6

Ohio State offensive line pushes toward playoff WYATT CROSHER Assistant Sports Editor crosher.1@osu.edu Ohio State proved plenty in its dominating 62-39 victory against Michigan, including the ability to play consistently well on both sides of the ball against a team ranked in the top 25 in scoring offense and defense.

For the offense, it wasn’t the usual successful game. It wasn’t just redshirt sophomore quarterback Dwayne Haskins throwing the lights out on his own.

“I have seen the consistency. We’ve all seen consistency start — I can’t give you the exact time, but they’re playing very well right now.”

URBAN MEYER Ohio State head football coach

Against Michigan, and Maryland the week prior, the Buckeyes found a more complete offense, allowing Haskins to continue to put up big numbers while the run game gained the consistency it lacked in the first half of the season.

starts with the new and improved play on the offensive line.

“I have seen the consistency,” head coach Urban Meyer said.

“We’ve all seen consistency start — I can’t give you the exact time, but they’re playing very well right now.”

Haskins has thrown for more than 395 yards and the team has run for at least 170 yards and 4.8 yards per carry, allowing only a single sack in the past two games

combined.

Both Maryland and Michigan ranked in the top 20 in passing defense coming into the matchup, and the Wolverines had the No. 1 defense in the NCAA. Meyer said the offensive line’s performance against Michigan “was one of the best” he has seen from the group all season.

After giving up zero sacks to Michigan and becoming a key contributor to the statement win

the Buckeyes needed, they lost a key member late in the fourth quarter when the game was all but over.

Redshirt senior guard Demetrius Knox went down with a foot injury that Meyer described as a “Lisfranc issue.” Knox announced Monday on Twitter that his Ohio State career was over after starting 20 total games for the Buckeyes.

“He’s done so much for this

team in his career here, so it’s a tough loss for us,” Meyer said.

“We’ve got to regroup and put together that position.”

Taking Knox’s place will be redshirt freshman guard Wyatt Davis, Meyer said. Davis, a former five-star recruit, has appeared in five games this season.

Meyer said Davis’ recruitment was “one of the most enjoyable recruiting experiences” he’s ever had, and the redshirt freshman has been close to getting his chance for weeks.

“He’s a rugged guy, and he’s been scratching and clawing for playing time ever since probably five, six weeks ago, and has been close,” Meyer said. “We didn’t want to disrupt the flow of the five guys in there.”

Davis no longer needs to scratch and claw his way to the job. He has it.

But he gets the starting job following the offensive line’s best performance yet and Ohio State’s most consistently impressive game in every facet of the field.

Davis enters as the player disrupting the consistency — a change in the depth chart that could disrupt an Ohio State team finally looking like one that can make a run for the College Football Playoff.
