Oh, now THIS is interesting: Hawaii's recently dumped coach Jim Bolla alleges he was fired in retaliation for complaining about Title IX violations. *heads up Title IX blog!*

Nothing in the AP piece about the "alleged" reasons he was fired: Bolla had been on paid leave from the team since mid-February, after allegations surfaced that he kicked a player during practice. Also, since the (rather odd) hire, the team has posted a 64-80 record with no postseason berths. The Rainbow Wahine finished just 8-23 in 2008-09.
