“I was told I could never coach in the district again. This lady that was in my district for two months basically destroyed everything.”

Nearly nine years after leading a campaign of lies to get her daughter’s basketball coach fired, a Minnesota mother has agreed to pay $50,000 to settle the coach’s defamation lawsuit.Julie Bowlin, 55, also signed documents Monday admitting she made numerous false accusations against Nathan McGuire, leading to his 2014 dismissal as a coach at a high school in Woodbury, near St. Paul.

In late November 2013, a week into the season, Julie Bowlin became angry when she learned McGuire had Brooke scrimmaging with junior varsity rather than varsity players, according to a letter she signed as part of the legal settlement. “It just never stopped with this lady,” McGuire said. “Nothing was good enough. And she was getting her way after pulling her kid; she already had me suspended.”

That summer, Bowlin acknowledged as part of her settlement, she continued to lie about the coach, including telling a parent that McGuire “was recently put in jail” for mistreating players. “I was told I could never coach in the district again,” McGuire said. “This lady that was in my district for two months basically destroyed everything.”McGuire’s attorney, Don Mark, said he had a long list of coaches and former players lined up to testify in McGuire’s favor.
