Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore avoided jail time earlier this week after a judge sentenced him to 18 months of probation for two misdemeanor charges. The charges stemmed from a confrontation with a former staff member with whom he had an inappropriate relationship.
Moore pleaded no contest last month to trespassing and malicious use of a telecommunications device in a domestic relationship. More serious chargesāincluding felony home invasion and stalkingāwere dismissed as part of the deal.
The frightening incident took place the same day Moore was fired by the University of Michigan. The case centered around the former coach showing up uninvited at the apartment of Paige Shiver, his former executive assistant and mistress, shortly after she ended their affair.
According to details from the investigation and her account, Moore entered the residence, became emotional, and grabbed kitchen knives while making threats to harm himself.
Shiver was incensed over the judgeās decision. In a public statement released after the hearing, she made it clear that the punishment did not match the trauma she experienced.
āDecember 10th was the most terrifying day of my life,ā she said, according to the New York Post.Ā āThe criminal acts he committed were extremely frightening and violent. He broke into my apartment, crying, yelling, enraged, and came at me with knives. I was threatened, and I feared for my life.ā
āTodayās sentence does not reflect the harm done to me or the objective evidence in this case.ā

Paige Shiver is Sherrone Moore's former executive assistant and mistress, who was involved in the confrontation that led to Moore's legal issues.
The more serious charges against Sherrone Moore that were dismissed included felony home invasion and stalking.

The sentencing marks another chapter in Mooreās rapid downfall. Once the interim and then full head coach of the Wolverines, he was dismissed amid the scandal involving the affair.
But the judgeās decision has drawn criticism that the former coach got a sweetheart deal, first with the plea and then with the judgeās leniency. The judge reportedly noted the support of Mooreās wife during the hearing, but warned that should Moore step out of line again, he wouldnāt be so forgiving.
āI donāt believe, when I look at the entirety of this situation, that incarceration should be appropriate,ā the judge said during the sentencing. āI warn you, Mr. Moore, should there be a violation, all bets are off. I donāt like sending people to jail, but I donāt have a problem doing it.ā
He clearly seems to have had a problem doing it in this case.
