UConn has a new coach, but its last one isn’t going away quietly.

Kevin Ollie’s lawyers sent the University of Connecticut a letter that states the school violated his constitutional rights by canning him for “just cause” without giving him enough time to dispute that cause.

The Hartford Courant obtained that letter, which cited the 14th Amendment in accusing the school of firing him without allowing him time to contest the termination, as guaranteed by his contract. This appears to be the beginning of a fight over the roughly $10 million that was left on Ollie’s contract, which Ollie believes he is owed.

“The public record, action taken, and authorized communications by representatives of the University of Connecticut, demonstrate that the decision to terminate Coach Ollie has already been made and therefore the University of Connecticut has effectively negated Coach Ollie’s property right,” the letter sent to school president Susan Herbst said.

The UConn men’s team is under investigation by the NCAA, but the specifics are not clear, and the school has said it will not comment until the probe is complete. UConn did not wait for the investigation to conclude to part with Ollie in early March.

A few weeks later, Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley took his spot.
