Ben Parker over at Cardinal Report describes with more nuance how the investigation went down (per his sources) and other aspects of TT's leadership style:

 
First of all, it needs to be understood that these allegations against Taylor came before his first year started. At least the allegations that sparked the first investigation. So like the spring and summer of 2023. From what has been learned, it sounds like Taylor sent an apology to people a year later in the summer of 2024 and that some people did feel like his behavior had improved. At least a little bit. Taylor was put on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) because his behavior violated university standards.

Second, the genesis of the complaint that triggered the first investigation is Taylor was working to have a leadership change at a certain position and he got advice from a mentor to force the leadership change to get what he wanted. The leader who he sought to have removed was a female leader in the athletics department. She got removed and then she subsequently filed for an investigation into Taylor.

Third, from what has been learned, these complaints were really within the walls of the athletic department and staffers. So, none of this had anything to do with how Taylor was treating players per se. That said, sources have made it clear that there has been some frustration among a certain group of players about how Taylor has treated them. Specifically, with his overall tone and way of communicating. Just in terms of being too direct and maybe not being sensitive enough to how others might take his style of communication.   

At the risk of losing my status as a certified TT hater, it is worth a read, imo:
