Former Southern Miss basketball coach Tyndall plans to file suit against NCAA
Former Southern Miss basketball coach Donnie Tyndall, who received one of the harshest penalties in NCAA history, said Tuesday he plans to file a federal lawsuit against the NCAA.
“Obviously, there will be different parts (to the suit),” Tyndall said on the Sports Page radio show on 1180 WVLZ. “Slander and defamation will be part of it.”
Tyndall, who was fired after one season at Tennessee following his two-year stint at Southern Miss, said he is in the process of forming a legal team with the intent of suing the organization that gave him a 10-year show-cause penalty in April of 2016.
“I think we would probably file the case this spring or early summer,” said Tyndall, who is now coaching the Raptors 905 in the NBA Development League. “We’re going to fight this thing to the very end.”
