HONOLULU (AP) The University of Hawaii at Manoa is suing former basketball coach Gib Arnold, saying he deceived the school into believing his team complied with NCAA regulations.
The lawsuit filed in state court in Honolulu on Wednesday accuses Arnold of fraud and negligence. The school is seeking unspecified damages.
The university is also asking the court to weigh in on a contract dispute with Arnold. The former coach has filed a grievance against the school, saying he's entitled to $1.4 million in damages on the grounds the university violated the terms of his contract when it fired him without cause last year.
