Baker, a female, was employed as a history teacher by More Science High School for three years. Although she received good evaluation reviews for her first two years, her third-year review was poor. Her contract of employment was not renewed after the end of her third year. During Baker’s third year, the coach of the boys’ basketball team had given notice of his resignation, which was effective at the end of that school year. Baker was replaced by Dan Roundball, who was also hired as the coach of the boys’

basketball team. Baker filed a complaint with the EEOC, alleging that her contract was not renewed because the school wanted to replace her with a man who would also coach the basketball team.
