New Mexico State and former men's basketball coach Greg Heiar reached a settlement Friday over a wrongful termination lawsuit, his attorneys told ESPN.
"On behalf of our client, Greg Heiar, we are pleased to announce that a settlement has been reached in the arbitration of Coach Heiar and New Mexico State University," attorneys Ryan P. Danoff and Brett J. Danoff of Danoff Law Firm, P.C., said in a statement to ESPN.
"Coach Heiar is pleased that this matter is now fully and finally resolved to our satisfaction, and excited to continue his coaching career.
Coach Heiar wishes NMSU, the men's basketball program, and the Aggie fans all the best going forward."
Last year, Heiar led Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas, to the national junior college championship and was named national junior college coach of the year.
