The Board of Regents Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics met for more than an hour on the President’s Day holiday Monday to review former University of Hawaii basketball coach Gib Arnold’s disputed contract without apparent resolution.

It was the second closed-door executive session in five days on the topic, continuing a discussion that began Thursday.

Arnold filed a grievance Feb. 3 over terms of his contract, according to officials. He has claimed UH owes him more than $1.4 million for his Oct. 28 firing under terms of the 2011 agreement. UH, which said it paid him through the June 30 conclusion of the annual $344,000 contract, disputes the contention that he is owed an amount equal to its accrued value.

Committee chairman Jeff Portnoy said, "there was no action taken by the committee" Monday, characterizing the session as an ‘informational meeting" with the university’s outside counsel, William McCorriston. "We were not asked nor did we take any action, even to make recommendations," Portnoy said.

Seven members of the committee, along with UH President David Lassner and Manoa Chancellor Robert Bley-Vroman, attended Monday’s campus meeting.

The committee is scheduled to make a report to the full board Thursday.

James Bickerton, Arnold’s attorney, said, "I think if they are actually reading the papers and thinking about the issue they will understand why Coach Arnold has a valid claim."

Arnold’s grievance is said to be in the first step of a four-step process and could be headed to arbitration if the parties do not reach an agreement.
