Arizona State basketball coach Bobby Hurley accused athletic director Ray Anderson of "disturbing" actions when dealing with harassment allegations against a prominent athletic booster in a December email.


According to documents obtained by Yahoo Sports, Hurley emailed Anderson on Dec. 8 to express his displeasure with the way the athletic director handled sexual harassment allegations by three women -- including Hurley's wife, Leslie -- against booster Bart Wear.

"I thought there would be more sensitivity and consideration to all victims involved relative to [redacted]'s attendance at our basketball game. ... You had prior knowledge that he was going to be in attendance and that was very disappointing," Hurley wrote to Anderson in an email. "Mainly because you made no effort to make me aware of that, especially after you came to practice on Thursday and assured me that [redacted] would no longer be around men's basketball. This was very misleading and I feel I have been lied to."

Hurley went on to accuse Anderson of judging the alleged assaults on a scale.
