Ex-Coach Denies Charge

Compiled From Wire Services

Todd Bozeman, the ousted Cal basketball coach who is accused of harassing and threatening a former University of California at Berkeley student, denies the charges and says his accuser, not he, sought a sexual relationship.

His arm around his wife of six years, TeLethea, the mother of his two children, Bozeman said that he had not harassed former UC student Suzanne M. Wilson, who accused him of making threats and contacting her out of “unethical, vulgar motives” after she refused to have a sexual relationship with him.

Bozeman said the only threat he had ever made against Wilson was vowing to tell the police and FBI of Wilson’s participation in an alleged pyramid scheme in which the ex-coach says he lost money.
