I would say that most of the time, cases like this are settled out of court with neither side admitting any wrong doing.

Re: SRU
Originally posted by boatcapt View PostHe may have a Constructive Discharge case. He was hired to a particular position that being Head Basketball Coach at SRU. That position has a certain stature to it beyond salary alone. The President and AD have apparently removed Reynolds from this position and have put him in a different position against his will. Even if this now position has the same salary, it does not have the same stature as that of Head Basketball Coach. Unless the Prez and AD can show they removed Reynolds for cause (as laid out in the contract), putting him in a new position, even with the same salary, is a Constructive Discharge.

Re: SRU

Lots of jobs out there. Somebody will hire him.
I would have loved to see him at a school that actually cared about basketball.

Re: SRU
I've read the Reynolds civil complaint and it reads a lot like the Edinboro women's VB lawsuit complaint against the Edinboro AD: several less than ideal things happened, Reynolds interprets them as unfair and retaliatory in nature, give him money.
For those who don't have it: he believes that he's the victim of unfair treatment because he testified in the basketball player wrongful death civil suit in a way that wouldn't necessarily look flattering for SRU and his graduation rate isn't what the president would like. He also says that trainers refuse to tape his players ankles for practice, he complained, the AD did nothing. Now this suspension. Makes no mention of player walkout. A lot of he said/he said stuff that's probably unable to be proven in court without evidence or a confession that points to intent/motive.

But this filing is just the initial vehicle that initiates the civil process. I would anticipate it to be amended to include (or remove) additional allegations. The long term goal of most of these civil suits is $$$$'s. Almost always impossible to get the other side to the negotiating table absent a civil suit being filed. SRU will now have to do a "cost assessment" of this...Best case cost will be the legal costs associated with defending this in court...Worst case will be the damages and loss of income to Reynolds if the court finds in favor of Reynolds AND the legal cost of going to court. Settling early is always cheaper for BOTH sides (lawyers bills mount quickly!) but early settlements are rare.Last edited by boatcapt; 11-26-2018, 10:01 AM.

He still isn't actually terminated yet, either.
What if they determine they can't fire him? He has 3 years left on his contract. Do the players walk back out? Quite the circus.
I think they are beyond the point of no return but without legit cause he could be leaving town with a hefty bag of cash.
