Boston University is looking into allegations that women's basketball coach Kelly Greenberg has bullied and emotionally abused her players, The Boston Globe reported.

Greenberg, 46, who is in the final year of a contract extension, has been accused of players in the past. However, the recent probe comes after four women decided to leave the school's women's basketball team this academic year, renewing questions about Greenberg's treatment of her students,  The Boston Globe reported.

One basketball player who left the team said she felt so emotionally damaged by her coach that she considered suicide. Another player said treated her so poorly she sought mental health care," The Boston Globe reported. The university is evaluating Greenberg's coaching performance, including an inquiry into the allegations of emotional abuse.

"We have been made aware of issues and concerns about Coach Greenberg, and we're taking a very serious look at them from both inside and outside of athletics,'' BU spokesman Colin Riley said.

Of the four players who recently left the team, two walked away from their $60,000-a-year scholarships, another is scheduled to graduate in May, and the fourth remains in school, her financial status to be determined.

"I was so grateful to go to such a prestigious and expensive school and be given a full scholarship to play there,'' Dana Theobald, a former star at West Springfield High School, who withdrew in October, told The Boston Globe. "I arrived feeling very confident and motivated. Then I felt bullied, threatened, and emotionally abused by the coach. By the time I left, she had demolished me as a person.''

Similar complaints were filed against Greenberg by her team seven years ago. It was reported to the University's athletic director that Greenberg routinely engaged in unwarranted and damaging personal attacks against them, The Boston Globe reported.
