This indicates to me that they were looking to possibly eliminate the plaintiff's position and replace it with a new one with new qualifications. This would explain why the head conditioning coach would advise the plaintiff to upgrade her skills to qualify for the new position. If the plaintiff were a full-time employee and not a contracted one then her dismissal would be likely seen as a constructive dismissal, which means that she would have been entitled to a severance package, However, her severance would likely be less as a contracted employee. Perhaps this could be a reason behind her lawsuit on harassment grounds instead of a purely labour law situation.

As they always say in these cases, let the process play itself out, rather than jumping to conclusions. My curiosity is in what the league's investigation uncovers.
