Defendants in former Razorback basketball
coach Nolan Richardson`s suit don`t want a jury to hear about
football coach Houston Nutt`s talks with Nebraska.
Richardson`s suit claims that his firing two years ago by the
university was an act of discrimination against him because he is
black and outspoken. University of Arkansas officials say he was
fired because he showed a lack of confidence in the basketball
program.
The university filed a motion in federal district court today.
The motion argues that proposed testimony about Nutt`s discussions
with Nebraska is irrelevant to the case. Trial of the case is set
to start May 3rd in Little Rock.
