Former Oklahoma University women’s gymnastics head coach Steve Nunno disputes claims made by critics that there was any controversy surrounding his recent resignation. He simply wants to spend more time with his family.
He had been disciplined by the NCAA for having too many mandatory practices.
Nunno responded to claims by Amanda Turner, a writer for International Gymnast Magazine, that the coach had pushed his athletes too far and was threatening at times regarding weight regulations.
Paul Ziert, an instructor at the Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy in Norman and former OU women’s gymnastics head coach, compared Nunno’s coaching style to the stereotypical style of the Eastern European Bloc.
Nunno responds to allegations of coaching misconduct ::
I did one trip with Steve Nunno back when he coached world champion Shannon Miller. At that time I felt his coaching style was far too negative and severe. The US team was embarrassed by his behaviour.
Perhaps it is time for him to retire.
