UC Berkeley to review head coach Cuonzo Martin's role in sexual harassment case

BERKELEY, Calif. -- Officials at the University of California, Berkeley, are reviewing whether the men's head basketball coach correctly handled sexual harassment allegations against one of his assistants.

The review aims "to dispel any doubts" about coach Cuonzo Martin's role in the case that led to the firing of assistant coach Yann Hufnagel, athletic director Mike Williams said in a statement late Tuesday.

"We firmly believe the results will support our confidence in Coach Martin," Williams said.

Supervisors and managers are required to promptly forward any sexual misconduct complaints, and those who fail to do so may face discipline, campus policy says.
