Pokey’s been spotted … sort of

by Lyndsey Darcangelo

The Pokey Chatman camp spoke Tuesday, and for the first time in six weeks, the embattled coach’s intentions seem clear.BODchatman.jpg

She plans on coaching again, doesn’t want her job back at LSU and wants the university to pay her roughly $900,000.

Chatman’s attorney, Mary Olive Pierson, said Tuesday her client was given about two hours to resign or be fired on March 7 amid allegations she had inappropriate sexual relationships with former players. In a five-page letter to the university, e-mailed to selected members of the news media, Pierson painted a picture of a coach unjustly treated and compared LSU’s actions to “the Nifong school of decision making.”

Pierson also said further legal action is likely if Chatman isn’t compensated for the final two years of her contract. - ESPN.com

Read the five-page letter.

Though she still has yet to make a public appearance or speak out about this incident herself, at least we know she isn’t just going to hide from these allegations or disappear from the coaching world altogether.

We’re still playing, “Where’s Pokey.” You’ve played “Where’s Waldo” before, haven’t you? Well, the same rules apply here. If you happen to stumble upon an article or an announcement of Pokey’s whereabouts, heck, if you happen to actually see her somewhere - contact me! Maybe I’ll even throw in a prize!

    Oooooo, wheee. I read the letter. Well, perhaps we’ll never know all the facts behind this story….

    Well, I’m hoping Pokey will clear things up eventually …

    Is it just my inner 12-year old or does it really seem unfortunate in this situation that her name is “Pokey”?

    Just me? Okay.
