Women's Basketball: School, Attorneys Reach Deal In Fresno State Coach Lawsuit
-Lawyers for a former Fresno State women's basketball coach who sued the university claiming sexual discrimination say they've reached a $9 million settlement with the university. In December, a jury awarded Stacy Johnson-Klein $19.1 million for unlawful termination. She says she was fired for threatening to expose the school's unequal treatment of women athletes and coaches. Fresno State attorneys appealed, and Johnson-Klein filed a cross appeal. A Fresno County judge later reduced her total award to $6.6 million, plus $2.5 million in attorneys' fees.
