UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII

The University of Hawaii’s Board of Regents plan to discuss a settlement deal between the school and former Men’s Basketball Coach Gib Arnold, Arnold’s lawyer told Hawaii News Now on Friday. “The parties made good progress in their discussions last week, and now we’re waiting to see what the Board of Regents will do,” said James Bickerton, Arnold’s attorney. Arnold was “relieved of coaching duties” by then-Athletics Director Ben Jay last October. The settlement is believed to be worth more than $500,000, since that is the dollar amount threshold that would require approval by the Regents prior to being agreed upon. – Ian Scheuring, Hawaii News Now, Read More
