VESTAL, N.Y. (AP) -The suspended coach of the Binghamton University men’s basketball team has filied a racial discrimination complaint against the school.
Kevin Broadus was put on paid leave in October after his starting point guard was arrested on drug charges and five teammates were dismissed for other violations.
It was the third player arrest in his three years as coach.
Broadus filed a complaint with the New York State Division of Human Rights on March 8.
His lawyer, Don Jackson, says Broadus believes he was treated differently than other coaches in Binghamton’s scandal-plagued athletic program because he is black.
A spokesman for the state university system declined to comment.
