NEW - STATEMENT FROM LINDA KENNEY BADEN, ESQ. ANNOUNCING SETTLEMENT ON BEHALF OF COACH KEVIN BROADUS
[New York, NY] [October 28, 2010] –Today Linda Kenney Baden, Esq., lead attorney for Coach Kevin Broadus, is very pleased to announce the following statement from SUNY regarding Coach Broadus:
“The SUNY System, Binghamton University and former head men’s basketball coach, Kevin Broadus, have reached a tentative agreement to resolve all pending issues related to Coach Broadus’ employment. During this process, Coach Broadus and the University worked very closely together to arrive at a mutually satisfactory resolution so that each party can move forward. Coach Broadus was fully cooperative with the NCAA and SUNY appreciated his professionalism. We wish Coach Broadus continued success in any future men’s basketball coaching position.”
With this matter now successfully resolved Coach Broadus looks forward to returning to the basketball court to coach his next championship team and has submitted his resignation to SUNY/Binghamton effective November 1, 2010.
Unfortunately, there are still victims of this sad chapter in SUNY history including the innocent young student athletes, about whom some in the media keep republishing false statements even though they are innocent bystanders as well as the taxpayers of New York who were saddled with much of the cost of the near million dollar audit, riddled with innuendo and fraught with inaccuracies, that SUNY has now clearly abandoned.
Coach Broadus would like to thank the vast majority of the Binghamton community who have been supportive of him throughout this ordeal and asks that everyone please visit his website at www.kevinbroadus.com for updates on his career.

“TAKE A CHANCE ON YOUTH, OPEN THE DOOR OF HOPE”
An Essay on Coaching our Youth
My name is Kevin Broadus. I am a college basketball coach. My mother Shirley died when I was eight (8) years old of an unexpected brain aneurysm. I was fortunate enough to be raised by my extended family, my aunt and uncle and my mother’s sister, who provided me a loving home. I attended Catholic schools from the 1st through the 8th grade. I then attended the D.C. public schools for 2 years. My last 2 years of high school were spent in the great Montgomery County school system. In other words, I have personally seen all aspects of primary and secondary schooling.
I was one of the fortunate inner city kids who lived in the North East section of Washington, D.C. Though I never resided with him, my father was a significant presence in both my upbringing and my life. He taught me the value of hard work. My whole family kept me on the straight and narrow. If it were not for their unconditional support, help, and love, I may not have attained my Masters of Science Degree in Counseling. I am proud of my family, my work, and my career. I am ever grateful for the support of the many people I have met along the way, including all of the colleges, administrators and coaches I have worked with in the Washington, D.C. area. You all know who you are and I thank you for your unending strength and belief in my talent. Let me also say, and make no mistake about it, that I am proud of the players I recruited as part of my duties as a basketball coach during these many years. I have no regrets about trying to make any of the young men achieve their dreams even though some of them ultimately may have exhibited some flaws along the way. I hope that they view me as a role model – demonstrating that you can have a successful sports career while furthering your education.
