A Division II men’s basketball coach removed from the court in handcuffs earlier this season is planning to file a lawsuit against Morehouse College and two of its campus police officers, according to the coach’s attorneys.
Tuskegee University coach Benjy Taylor was never charged with a crime despite being escorted off the floor after a 77-69 loss at rival Morehouse and he will announce on Friday, March 20 in College Park, Georgia that he’s seeking further legal ramifications from the incident. Taylor is being represented by well-known civil rights attorneys Harry Daniels, John Burris, Gerald Griggs and Gregory Reynald Williams.

Taylor’s attorneys wrote in a news release announcing their intention to officially file a lawsuit this week that the treatment Taylor received “sparked national attention and outcry.” In addition to Morehouse College, campus police officers “R. Clark and M. Roberson” were named by Taylor’s legal team as defendants in the impending civil case. Daniels previously said Taylor had retained him to explore “all legal avenues.”
