Sacramento Bee: Former coach accepts $6.6m

Johnson-Klein takes reduced award, says it’s ‘right thing to do.’

Stacy Johnson-Klein said Wednesday she will accept a smaller award in her court victory over Fresno State, saying it’s time for her and the community to put a divisive trial behind them.

The former California State University, Fresno, women’s basketball coach said she consulted with family and her legal team and prayed before deciding to accept Fresno County Superior Court Judge Donald S. Black’s reduced award of $6.6 million.
