The University of Hawaii and former UH men’s head basketball coach Gib Arnold have come to a mediated resolution ending all legal disputes between the parties.
Arnold has agreed to drop all claims against the university in return for a $700,000 settlement, which consists of a $200,000 payment to his attorney and $500,000 to Arnold spread over three calendar years.
“It’s time for the university to move past this chapter in the history of UH men’s basketball,” said UH Manoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman. “It is the best thing for UH and it is the best thing for the program. Now we can turn our full focus to the future and the players and coaches, as they prepare for the upcoming season.”
Arnold has been in a long legal battle with the school since his dismissal on Oct. 28, 2014.
