New Mexico State, former coach Greg Heiar settle lawsuit

New Mexico State His lawyers told ESPN that former male basketball coach Greg Heer arrived on an agreement on Friday in a misunderstanding case.

In 2023, he was fired, Heather accused the school of creating a “sacrifice lamb” for a litter of issues, including a hedging investigation, a player and a self -defense shooting involving educational problems.

In November 2022, former Ex -Exg player Mike Peak was taken to the campus of New Mexico University, where he shot and killed an alleged attacker, when a group of men attacked him in retaliation for the earlier fight. Peak was not accused in the incident.

But this was the beginning of one year for the program and Heer, who was accused of leaving the city with his team after shooting, as local authorities demanded to talk with several players.

Later, a hedging investigation involved in allegations of sexual harassment and harassment paid a pair of former players, Saka Odunevu and Duce Benjamin and his father to pay a combined $ 8 million.

In February 2023, the school fired Heiarar-one first-year head coach-and canceled the remaining 2022-23 season as the details of the hedging investigation were revealed. Soon after, Heer sought an undesirable amount when he sued the school for violation of contracts and actions, which were “with will, desired and careless disobedience.”

“On behalf of our customer, Greg Heer, we are happy to declare that there is an agreement in the mediation of coach Heir and New Mexico State University,” lawyer lawyer Ryan P. Danoff and Brett J. Danoff of Danoff Law firm, PC said in a statement to ESPN. “Coach Heer is pleased that the matter is now completely and is solved for our satisfaction, and is excited to continue his coaching career. Coach Heer NMSU, men’s basketball program and fans of Agi wish.”

Last year, Heiarar led Athens, Trinity Valley Community College in Texas, nominated at the National Junior College Championships and the Yachnier College Coach of the Year.
