The Batie-Smoose contract with the state of San José expired on January 31 after it was suspended from the program in November. Batie-Smoose previously filed a complaint of title IX against the program about a situation that involves the transgender volleyball player Blaire Fleming. Batie-Smoose is also involved in a lawsuit against SJSU and the Mountain West conference on the situation involving Fleming.
The police have determined any link between the incident on Monday night and the complaint of the Batie-Smoose title IX, the exit of the program and the current demand.
However, Batie-Smoose believes he was “attacked” for it.
“I do,” Batie-Smoose told Fox News Digital when asked if he believes that the incident was linked to the situation involved in SJSU and Fleming. “It cannot be a coincidence that this has never happened and in our neighborhood I spoke with the neighbors who have lived there for 10 years and not even a thief in the area and much less to someone who shot someone at home.”

Batie Smoose said the incident occurred when it was at a virtual meeting with the members of the Independent Women’s Sports Council (Icons).
I was talking to the main lawyer Bill Bock and the volleyball players of the Mountain West conference involved in the lawsuit. While discussing legal battle and The new NCAA policy Regarding gender eligibility, he listened to the glass to break at his house.
“I listen to this great sound and sound like breaking glass and at first I thought ‘What just happened? Where does that sound come from?’ And then, once it was recorded, I look towards the window and see the hole of the bullet. ”
Batie-Smoose said she crawled on the floor behind her sofa and called her husband, telling her to call the police. The pellet was shot in the window in front of his backyard.
“The police said the shot had to come from the street behind me,” said Batie-Smoose, adding that most of their neighbors were not at home when the incident occurred.
When Batie-Smoose was informed that the police determined that the incident was an act of vandalism due to the fact that the weapon used was, he described the “crazy” decision.
“So why could it not be a weapon that is only considered vandalism even though it can damage you?” Batie-Smoose said. “That is a little crazy for me. Regardless, if an object in that force comes to mind, it will damage you. It’s crazy for me.
“I don’t know how they degrade this to vandalism.”
Batie-Smoose said that he previously received hostile emails about his posture about Fleming and trans inclusion in women’s sports. He also claimed to have had altercations in person with individuals in Santa Cruz and Scotts Valley who did not agree with their position.
“People pick me up in the community and i’m in an area that’s speaking out and speaking to figure for women’s sports, i’m in an area with sum crazies and i definitely Believe it was a target on me for speaking out,” She saying.
Batie-Smoose added that all coaches and players involved with the volleyball program of the state of San José know their direction. Batie-Smoose joined the program in 2023, but does not rule out people outside the program discovering their address through other media.
“I feel that today and age could come to find their direction quite easily,” said Batie-Smoose. “I have presented it? No. But I am sure that if you looked enough, you could find my address.”
Batie-Smoose has left his house and stays elsewhere while the investigation continues.
Batie-Smoose has appeared in Fox News programs several times advocating the protection of women’s sports amid the current scandal with the state of San José.
Batie-Smoose was suspended from the program on November 2 after she filed the complaint of Title IX. The complaint included accusations that Fleming had conspired with an opponent for former Sjsu Brooke Slusser co-firing to hit the face during a match in October.
Regular Police protection was assigned To the team and continued throughout the season in the midst of security concerns, including an incident in which Slusser was informed of a physical threat to its safety on October 2, Fox News Digital reported.
Both the demand for Slusser and the complaint of the title IX of Batie-Smoose allege that Fleming conspired with the volleyball player of the state of Colorado, Malaya Jones, before the match between the two programs on October 3. The complaint claimed that Fleming provided an exploration report to Jones to guarantee a competitive state of Colorado State advantage, and allegedly established a plan to establish Jones with a transparent lane for Spike Slusser in the face during the contest.
The letter stated that the conference investigation included interviews with coaches and athletes students in both San José and in the state of Colorado. However, the letter did not specifically indicate which individuals had been interviewed. The conference refused to provide details about the people who had been interviewed when Fox News Digital asked.
Slusser’s lawyer Bill Bock, then provided a statement to Fox News Digital, insisting that the investigation had been “infected with bias.”

“Because MWC’s investigation was inappropriate, and anything but exhaustive, and because the MWC closing letter is full of errors, the subigned is issuing this refutation and demands that the MWC be released immediately: (1 ) the research report prepared by its investigator (s), and (2) all the documents related to the ‘exhaustive research’ of the MWC and on which the decision of the MWC not to continue was based more, “he said The Bock statement.
The State of San José is also under investigation by the Department of Education of President Donald Trump to determine if the violations of Title IX occurred during Fleming’s possession in the volleyball team.
The president of the State University of San José, Cynthia Teniente-Mson, told Fox News Digital that the university is prepared to cooperate in the research.
Fox News Digital has communicated with San José State to ask about a statement about the incident that involves the Batie-Smoose house.
