Patraw expands legal options

A state hearing officer ruled Monday that a former University of Nevada soccer coach may add a sexual harassment allegation to her whistleblower complaint against the athletic department.
The hearing officer also refused the university's request for dismissal of the complaint in which former women's soccer coach Terri Patraw contends her August firing was in retaliation for reporting NCAA violations by the university's golf coach and making other allegations about the athletic programs.
