gsf23, you stated that if the coach was fired because he was complaining about illegal treatment of the girls, you would think that it would "just fall under wrongful conviction." In most states, employment is "at will," which means that a person can be fired for any reason, or no reason, as long as it is not an unlawful reason. I assume that the coach did not work in a state with a whistleblower statute and, if that is true, the only potential claim he could make is under Title IX for retaliation. As I understand it, that is what the litigation is all about: Does Title IX provide complainers from retaliation? I hope that helps.

I understand that part, I guess I just don't see how the connection can be made from Title IX to the firing of the coach.
Like I had said, the only way I could see a connection would be if he was fired for being an inadequate coach, the he could claim the unequel facilities were a factor in that.
But, I guess that is why we have judges.
