Former UConn men’s basketball coach Kevin Ollie is looking to file a federal discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. According to Courthouse News, Ollie’s attorneys filed a special request to make this complaint, even though it may allow UConn to end the arbitration process currently under way.
As of right now, Ollie is slated to have an arbitration hearing on his contractual grievance claim that UConn did not have “just cause” in firing him and that he is entitled to the roughly $10 million owed to him on his contract.
