Former USC women's volleyball coach Mick Haley's age discrimination complaint against Donna Heinel could potentially be subject to discovery-phase parameters.
On Monday, the arbitrator ruled against Heinel and in favor of Haley on both requests, according to an email reviewed by the Los Angeles Times. Because of the delay in discovery related to Heinel’s indictment, the arbitrator ordered to continue the hearing from August 2019 to March 2020, a decision that served as a blemish on Haley’s victory and a desired result for USC.
According to the email, Heinel asserted that “the stay and protective orders were necessary because she is in an untenable position of choosing to defend herself in this arbitration thereby harming her criminal case or invoking her Fifth Amendment rights and not being able to defend herself against Claimant’s allegations.”
Most of Haley’s case against Heinel and USC is not expected to overlap the criminal allegations. But there will be some overlap, particularly involving Haley’s allegation that Heinel limited him in the composition of his roster. The parents allegedly provided Heinel a falsified resume that included their daughter receiving a number of honors and playing on a club team that qualified for junior nationals three years in a row. The Blakes allegedly wrote a check to “USC Women’s Athletics” in care of Heinel for $50,000 and later sent $200,000 to Singer’s made-up charity. The Blakes’ daughter enrolled at USC but was not listed on the women’s volleyball roster in the fall of 2018.
In December of 2017, USC athletic director Lynn Swann announced Haley would not return for another season. Swann replaced Haley with Brent Crouch, 43, a month later.
