The already messy divorce between Kevin Ollie and the University of Connecticut became more contentious this week as Ollie, through his attorneys, threatened to sue the university for defamation and false light. One of Ollie’s attorneys, Jacques Parenteau, wrote a letter to UConn president Susan Herbst on Tuesday demanding that the university retract portions of 1,355 pages of documents recently released to news organizations. The documents relate to the university’s decision to fire the 45-year-old Ollie for “just cause” back in March.
Among the documents is a transcript of a November 2017 interview conducted by NCAA investigator Russell Register of Glen Miller, the former UConn associate head coach.
