A white former Iona College hoops coach scored big Tuesday in his two-year battle to prove he was fired because his wife is black.
The 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Manhattan said a jury should hear Craig Holcomb's claims that top-ranking officials at the Westchester school allowed racists to oust him from his job as top assistant to axed Iona basketball coach Jeff Ruland.
The court said a lower-court judge was wrong to toss out Holcomb's discrimination claim and sent the case back to trial.
