All this supports that Cunningham/Bowes failed to support/counsel. A jury will be sympathetic to Brannen for having an absent boss or incompetent boss because likely every person on the jury has had one or more.

Verdict for Brannen.

This.

The former CFO is correct (For those of you who didn't know, Doss is a former CFO).

Amen Doss. You are one whose life experience is the real world. Kids have not experienced reality. Sport chat boards are dominated by emotions.

You are the proof of your own allegations that the boards are dominated by emotion when you called everyone here basement dwellers. Not to mention your other get-off-my-lawn, shakes-fists-at-clouds, nonsensical comments.

Proof:
Brannen was bad at the 1 thing he was hired to do... coach basketball.
If he recruited soft kids, recruit better at your next stop.
If he coached better, we would have won more.
If he was a better coach he wouldn't have alienated almost all of his players and the entire university and most of the city
Making fans long for the days of first and second round ncaa exits means you didn't do your job.

Allegations:
Cunningham didn't handle this in the best way possible.... Could be true, but unlike the above, we don't have enough proof because he's not being drug away kicking and screaming while his crazy lawyer blasts the internet with insanity.

If his good review was for the fiscal containing the 19-20 season and the allegations occurred during the 20-21 season, Brannen might not have an argument. If Cunningham had to intervene (counsel) during 20-21 (likely more than once) and it is documented, he can show that Brannen didn't take to the counceling, things were untenible and it had to end. My manager/HR take but I'm no lawyer.

Bolded, good observation.

We can certainly question the way this has been handled by Cunningham, looking at the situation from the outside in. But I doubt that Cunningham had some vendetta to get rid of his second highest paid coach during dire economic times for UC Athletics and all BCS schools. If so, he made a high risk move that may ultimately short circuit his future career.
