On January 29, 2005, while coaching a one-point comeback win over Kansas City, Ashley McElhiney was fired by the team's co-owner Sally Anthony after an on-court dispute between the two women.

The next morning, paramedics were called to Anthony's residence, by Anthony's sister-in-law Susan Bucher, to treat her after either a fall down the stairs or a dog bite or mixing alcohol with the anxiety-relieving drug Xanax, depending on the story she gave at the time.

McElhiney's firing was overturned and she returned to coach on February 5 for a game with the St. Louis Flight in her hometown of Gleason, Tennessee which was lost 130-114.
