A woman is suing the University of Massachusetts alleging she was intimidated and falsely imprisoned by several coaching staff members on the men's basketball team.
Ayanna Hickman alleges assistant coaches Lue Roe and Shyrone Chatman, along with former strength coach Richard Hogans, prevented Hickman from leaving an office and told her she could not talk about alleged use of banned substances by team members, domestic violence incidents from staff members and other issues after a return from a game in Springfield in 2013.
Hickman is seeking 75-thousand dollars in damages. Roe was placed on administrative leave in December, while Hogans left as the strength coach in 2014.
