Former Cal basketball assistant Yann Hufnagel released a statement Wednesday denying the sexual harassment allegations levied against him by a female reporter and indicating he would sue the university over his termination.
"These last two days have been gut-wrenching," the statement read. "Being ripped away from a team that I love has been, in a word, unbearable. I take these allegations incredibly seriously, but the report is wrong. The outpouring of support has been unwavering and heartfelt."
Hufnagel, 33, was fired earlier this week after a university report found he had harassed an unknown reporter.
