SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - A judge is expected to hear arguments over whether to move a slander case brought by two former ball boys against Syracuse University and head basketball coach Jim Boeheim.
The judge in Syracuse was scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday on a motion to change the venue for the defamation lawsuit bought by Bobby Davis and Michael Lang from New York City to Syracuse. The pair claims Boeheim defamed them by saying they were out for money after their abuse allegations against former assistant coach Bernie Fine surfaced in November.
Lawyers for Boeheim and the university want the case moved to Syracuse. But lawyers for plaintiffs claim the two men can't get a fair trial in Syracuse because Boeheim and his program are so popular locally.
Fine hasn't been charged.
