Players responded to being slapped 9 times by a female coach: The coach has apologized and treats us like a sister in private

On the evening of July 25, a video of a female coach slapping a young player in the face was circulated on a short video platform. The video said that in a match of the 2024 National Sports School U16 Basketball Championship Qualifiers (Xining Division), a young player from a certain school was slapped 9 times by a female coach. Once the video was released, it quickly caused heated discussions online.

On the morning of July 26, the New Yellow River reporter contacted the female coach involved, Ma Moumou, a teacher at the No. 101 Middle School in Urumqi. Ma Moumou responded with tears, saying that she was too impulsive at the time of the incident, and she realized her mistake afterwards. "My relationship with the child is not what everyone imagines. He (the beaten child) came late, and he didn't have many opportunities to compete. My behavior at the time was not for grades or for myself. I get along well with the children on weekdays, helping them wash clothes and cook. After the video was circulated online, the child also found me as soon as possible to take care of my emotions." Ma Moumou explained that she did not set a good example for the team members when she went out to participate in the competition, and she was willing to accept any punishment.

According to the Huashang Daily Dafeng News, on July 26, the reporter contacted the player who was beaten. He said that the coach was a little harsh on the players, but he was very kind to everyone on weekdays. He hoped that the public would stop blaming the coach. The coach had apologized to him for this incident and obtained the understanding of his parents.

On the morning of July 26, Urumqi No. 101 Middle School issued a situation report, which showed that in response to the online rumors on the evening of July 25 about the suspected misconduct of Ma, a teacher at Urumqi No. 101 Middle School, the school attached great importance to it and immediately set up a special working group to conduct an investigation and verification overnight.
