Ousted coach denies UNB’s claims
University’s defence to Richard Schick’s lawsuit is his dismissal was justified, but in reply filed in court, plaintiff contends complaints against him were unfounded and retaliatory
The former University of New Brunswick women’s volleyball coach says complaints filed against him by his players were unfounded and retaliatory for decisions he made for the 2023-2024 lineup.
Richard Schick filed a notice of action and statement of claim against UNB in December, alleging his dismissal from his coaching job at the university Oct. 31 was wrongful.
UNB filed a statement of defence later in December, asserting Schick’s employment with the school was “at the pleasure” of the board of governors and that the university could fire him without cause if it so chose.
