The New York Times first reported the lawsuit Monday. Auriemma responded with a statement late Monday saying the claim is "beyond false" and he will defend himself "to the fullest."
In the lawsuit, Hardwick said she pushed Auriemma away but this year, the suit claims, the UConn coach "retaliated for her rebuff" by successfully demanding that the NBA remove her as the top security official for the women's team at the upcoming London Olympics.
Hardwick, 46, is a law school graduate and a former New York City undercover narcotics detective.
The lawsuit alleges that Auriemma followed Hardwick back to her room and tried to kiss her after joining a conversation between her and a co-worker in a hotel lounge.
"Plaintiff was startled but, utilizing her training as a police officer and security professional, reacted quickly by shoving him away and stating, 'What are you doing? You better check yourself

This is fantastic. Good to know that in order to push someone away I have to be fully trained as both a police officer and security professional.

This is so stupid. I doubt she can find credible evidence that supports that he forced her out of the league and since when is it a crime to go for a kiss and get turned down. Dumb bitty just wants $.

someone please translate this:
The next day, two players asked to speak alone with the two women. Their coach, the players said, had spoken of Ms. Hardwick in a derogatory fashion: “They said, ‘Look, Geno was calling you ‘ghetto’ and told us, ‘I don’t know why they are calling Shaniqua over here,’ ” according to the suit.
who the hell is shaniqua and why would geno ever use the word 'ghetto' ?
