RENO, Nev. -- Nevada president Marc Johnson released a series of text messages and other documents Friday that he says demonstrate why the university was comfortable hiring an assistant basketball coach who was accused of sexual harassment before he resigned from Cal.
The 21 documents released in response to a public records request from the Reno-Gazette Journal include hundreds of texts between Yann Hufnagel and a 24-year-old reporter who accused him of harassing her while he was at Cal.
Nevada coach Eric Musselman announced Hufnagel's hiring April 8, the day after Hufnagel announced he was dropping his appeal of Cal's attempt to fire him and was resigning from the Pac-12 school.
