Coach Matt Brady and JMU sued by Marist

JMU Men's Basketball coach Matt Brady (along with JMU and the commonwealth of Virginia) are being sued by Marist college (Brady's former school). The lawsuit is over a line in Brady's former contract that states that he is not allowed to lure current players or recruits from Marist if he switches to another school. Four of his recruits from Marist (though only one of them had even signed a letter of intent) came to JMU. Some details have yet to come to light such as whether Brady was the one that asked them to come to JMU or if the recruits voluntarily followed him. JMU has yet to comment about the matter following their rule to not discuss current litigation. I think Hofstra Men's Basketball coach stated it best when he said, "I think that's ridiculous. They've got a good basketball coach at Marist. They should just move on." The fact that Marist is so ready to settle the case makes it look like they're not sure it's a very strong lawsuit.
