Former St. John’s basketball assistant coach Steve DeMeo is suing head coach Mike Anderson and the university.
A bombshell lawsuit became public on Thursday morning involving former St. John’s basketball assistant coach Steve DeMeo and head coach Mike Anderson.
DeMeo is suing Anderson and the school for wrongful termination after the assistant coach was fired in June.
Kevin Sweeney of Sports Illustrated was first to report on the filed suit.
DeMeo is claiming that he was fired by St. John’s and head coach Mike Anderson over a health condition, mitral valve prolapse, that would force him to miss extended time in order to receive treatment and attend scheduled doctors appointments.
