NEW YORK -- A woman who works as an NBA security official has filed an employment discrimination lawsuit saying she was removed from an assignment to the 2012 Summer Games in London after she spurned an advance from Connecticut and women's national team coach Geno Auriemma.

In March, Hardwick says she learned of a conference call involving NBA officials in which Auriemma demanded that she be taken off the security assignment for the London Games.

In his statement, Auriemma said, "This claim is beyond false. I will defend myself to the fullest, and I'm confident that the truth will ultimately prevail. In the meantime, I remain focused on representing the United States this summer and getting our team ready to compete for the gold medal."

As part of the lawsuit, Hardwick also says that the NBA discriminated against her due to her gender, that she was denied promotions, raises and employment opportunities because she is a woman.

As much as I loathe the UConn Huskies and love seeing them loose, I believe that Geno is a great coach and an honorable guy. My original instinct is to call these allegations B.S., but I guess I can wait for more information to come out.

1. I love seeing them loose, too

When they're tight, they tend to choke to lesser teams that they should be waxing, as has been the case for the past couple of years.
