Lawyers in former Arkansas basketball coach
Nolan Richardson`s discrimination lawsuit have until Friday to
prepare their closing arguments.
Testimony ended last week in the trial, in which Richardson said
he was unjustly fired from his job. The ex-coach claimed he was
discriminated against because he is black and claimed that his free
speech rights were violated. The university says it released
Richardson because the coach publicly called for his contract to be
bought out.
Written arguments in the case are due tomorrow to U-S District
Judge William R- Wilson. The case is not being heard before a jury.
Wilson says he will need time to make a decision and said he does
not expect to issue a decision on Friday.
