Former Cal women's swimming coach Teri McKeever is writing a memoir titled 'From Podiums to Pariah,' addressing psychological abuse allegations that led to her firing in January 2023. A group of 17 former swimmers is suing the UC Board of Regents for allegedly overlooking McKeever's bullying culture. Although their lawsuit was dismissed in 2024, an appeals court recently allowed the case to proceed, reset by earlier reporting. The release date for the memoir remains unspecified but is listed as 'Coming Soon' on McKeever's website, with sports journalist Karen Crouse as a co-author.
