An attorney for Arizona Wildcats assistant coach Emanuel "Book" Richardson said his client is appealing a pre-termination notice he received from the University of Arizona after he was accused of bribery and fraud in an FBI investigation into NCAA basketball.
"We've filed an appeal, and we're waiting to hear back for a hearing date," Tucson attorney Brick Storts III told The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com Monday.
Storts said it would be inappropriate for Richardson to comment on the federal allegations in a university hearing because it could affect the ongoing criminal case in federal court.
