A longtime friend and colleague of Pokey Chatman's reportedly blew the whistle on the alleged inappropriate relationship she was having with a former player, ESPN.com is reporting. Carla Berry, an LSU assistant since 1999 and a former player of Coach Gunter's during Chatman's playing days as well, allegedly reported the incident to non-Athletic Department officials, who confirmed it did not involve any current players on the team. Reports are showing that Chatman might have been seeking counsel from Berry, who then blew the whistle. Only time will tell what the real story is in this case. Hopefully LSU's media relations office will have learned how to handle crisis communications by taking a crash course over the weekend because it has been nothing but a mess of monumental proportions. Now, Coach Starkey and the players, instead of dealing with it last week will be bombarded during the NCAA's.
What was Carla Berry's motivations for turning in Chatman? Did she want the head coaching job? Since Bob Starkey is not seeking the head coaching position, it is my guess the entire staff will be purged as a new, high profile coach comes in to rebuild the program's damaged reputation.

The "Rumor" is Berry was or is Chapman's partner. (female lover) Berry became jealous over more than Coaching. I just want to know if Chapman is single and what's her phone number. She is HOTTER now than ever.
