BOSTON (CBS) --- Boston University's women's basketball coach is leaving under a cloud of controversy.

Kelly Greenberg (Boston University)

BU reports that Kelly Greenberg is stepping down after 10 seasons, effective immediately.

At least four players quit the team this year, claiming they were emotionally abused by Greenberg.

Greenberg denies the allegations and several other players have spoken out publicly on her behalf.

Greenberg released the following statement Wednesday morning:

"I have determined that it is in the best interest of the University, the women's basketball program, and myself, for me to resign my position as Head Women's Basketball Coach. I do not agree with some of the findings of the review panel regarding my coaching style, which was intended to produce well rounded athletes and a winning team. However, given all that has transpired, I do not believe it will be possible for me to continue as an effective coach at Boston University."
