When Tubby Smith was hiring assistant coaches after he was hired at Minnesota, he selected and offered an assistant spot to Jimmy Williams.
BUT - the Minnesota Athletic Director (same guy Jim Molinari worked under), Joel Maturi, then "vetoed" the hiring of Williams...who claims in his lawsuit
that not only was he offered the job and accepted, but that he was given assurance that Tubby Smith had the "exclusive authority" to make the hire.
Thus Williams believes he has been wronged by having the job pulled out from under him...and that Tubby's offer and authority to make the hire should have stood,
and that he believes there was fraud in the representation by Tubby of having such authority....
Williams' suit says the verbal agreement should have been good enough, and cites that Tubby himself was hired on the basis of such a verbal agreement.
