The allegations connected to the soft ball program include Scheyer handing out drugs to athletes without always ex amining the students. In an interview with investigators from the state health department, Scheyer said that Wilson knew what he was doing. Wilson defended Scheyer — because Complete Selection of X-C Skis • Boots • Clothing Cross Country Ski Rentals he spent time with her team — until re cent weeks, but she did not directly ad mit any knowledge of Scheyer's alleged misdeeds. However, she was the reason that Scheyer stayed on with her pro gram after other programs moved to the university's sports medicine physi cians in 1999. Here's the thing: Wilson either knew what Scheyer was doing or was so out of touch with the undercurrent in her program that she was blind to it.

The hardest parts will be the players who now have to learn how to lose — and gracefully — and Wilson's attempt to keep her reputation intact.
