Chatman, LSU agree on settlement

06.16.2007

Baton Rouge, LA (Basketball News) - LSU and former women’s basketball coach Pokey Chatman reached an agreement on a $85,000 settlement after the coach’s resignation from the school in March.

Combined with the $75,000 the school agreed to pay Chatman as an NCAA Tournament bonus, she will pocket a total of $160,000. Chatman’s attorney, Mary Olive Pierson, recently offered a settlement amount of about $170,000.

Chatman stepped down on March 7 because of improper conduct between her and one or more players.

Chatman had compiled a 90-14 record since taking over as head LSU’s head coach, and the Lady Tigers have twice reached the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament with her at the helm.

Also a player at LSU, Chatman has been with the organization for almost 18 years.
