UH not liking the way arbitration was going so they panicked and attempted to move the proceedings to a legal court system. But watch the court throw out the case.
I am the one who knocks.

Throw out or be put on hold post arbitration... either way, makes UH look weak.808Hawaii wrote:UH not liking the way arbitration was going so they panicked and attempted to move the proceedings to a legal court system. But watch the court throw out the case.

So, the legal department screws it up, UH will likely dole out the dough, but the question remains, does the payout eventually end up as a deficit to the Athletic Department, too?
Re: University of Hawaii sues former basketball coach Arnold
Way to screw up your situation even more UH! I can see the court throwing out the lawsuit, then UH losing the arbitration. Or UH losing the arbitration then the court throwing out the case. Same same. UH made a big time mistake with Arnold's contract - witness the UH legal counsel resigning right after the contract dispute was brought to light.

Mea culpa. I should have said, "allegedly" regarding the resignation. You have to read between the lines. Darolyn Lendio worked for McCorriston before the UH job.akuhead2 wrote:Thanks for posting.

Former men’s basketball coach Gib Arnold has filed a grievance against the University of Hawaii, claiming a violation of his employment agreement, the school said Thursday.
Athletic director Ben Jay said notice of the grievance, dated Feb. 3, has been forwarded to UH attorneys for review.
UH coaches are represented by the HGEA.
An attorney for Arnold referred questions about the grievance to UH.
William McCorriston, outside counsel for the school, said the contention is UH violated section 8 of the contract, the portion dealing with termination by the university.
Arnold claimed in a statement Tuesday that he was owed $1.4 million by the university, not just the balance of his $344,000 base salary from the 2014-15 season that UH said he was due Jan. 26.
McCorriston said, “everybody is focusing on section 8, but the contract has to be read as a whole and there are many different provisions and the provision which is paramount in this contract is paragraphs “a,” “b” and “c,” which require Coach Arnold to comply with the laws of the NCAA and its regulations and protocols.”
McCorriston added, “if the notice of allegations received from the NCAA is correct, in whole or in part, it would be a violation of the contract. That provision — and the breach of it — would have to be considered along with any obligations, which may or may not exist, in section 8.”
McCorriston contends, “if the NCAA allegations are at all correct, the University of Hawaii will suffer a large magnitude of damages, including all the fees in investigating and defending the university against the (NCAA) allegations, including any punishment or penalties the NCAA may impose on the athletic department, including damage to its reputation.”
McCorriston also explained the June departure of Darolyn Lendio, university’s general counsel “has nothing to do with this controversy.”
“She had given her notice before this became an issue.”

HONOLULU — At its monthly meeting held today at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, the UH Board of Regents approved the appointment of Darolyn Lendio as Vice President for Legal Affairs and University General Counsel. Her three-year appointment is effective September 1.

As director, she managed a staff of 84 employees, including 36 attorneys, and spearheaded the defense of large litigation cases involving eminent domain and land use, environmental issues, construction, geological liability, municipal contracts, liquor laws, employment and personnel laws, and civil rights.
Lendio graduated from Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California and has been admitted to practice law in Hawaiʻi, the U.S. District Court, District of Hawaiʻi, and the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit. Her past honors include selection as the Outstanding City Administrator by the American Society of Public Administration, Hawaiʻi Chapter, and inclusion in "Best Lawyers in America" (2005).
