"Houston Dash Goalkeeping Coach Fired for Player Relationship Violations"
The Houston Dash fired goalkeeper coach Matt Lampson for violating the NWSL's Anti-Fraternization Policy by crossing professional boundaries with a player, leading to his suspension from future NWSL employment through 2024. This comes amid the league's ongoing reform following investigations that uncovered systemic abuse, leading to the firing and banning of multiple coaches and the recent sales of two teams. The NWSL has implemented new reporting policies and aims to set the standard for best practices in addressing misconduct in women's soccer.
