Abstract
In the wake of a number of high profile cases, sport organisations in Canada, are taking abuse and harassment in sport more seriously. For the most part, recent initiatives have addressed the harms faced by athletes. This paper considers the harassment experienced by Canadian women coaches. The study is based on data from two focus groups (n = 4 and n = 5) held with women basketball and volleyball coaches. The coaches described a range of common experiences that would be classified as harassment under the Ontario Human Rights Code. Focusing here on the harassment perpetuated by male referees, we argue that such incidents stem from systemic issues in sport and in the broader culture. Our evidence suggests that misogyny and sexism need to be explicitly addressed in safe sport policies and in programmes designed to address the diminishing numbers of women in coaching.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
