As first reported by Bay Area News Group last week, former Cal Women’s Water Polo head coach Rich Corso is suing UC Berkeley and the UC Regents for wrongful termination. Corso is asking for $1.38 million for lost wages and other benefits.
Richard Corso, who coached Cal’s women’s team from 2006-16, alleges in an Alameda County Superior Court suit that school officials created a hostile work environment in order to force him out last year.
According to the suit, administrators wanted to hire a younger woman to run the water polo program that Corso had built into one of the nation’s best.
