Source: Rutgers, Hill negotiatingSource: Rutgers, Hill negotiating

Negotiations began Thursday between Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti and men's basketball coach Fred Hill to terminate Hill's employment, a source with direct knowledge of the situation said.
At issue is whether Rutgers will pay Hill the nearly $2 million he would be owed under his current contract, which has three years remaining. If the sides cannot come to an agreement -- and they were far apart Thursday, according to a source -- then there could be a legal battle ahead for whether Hill will be terminated for cause.
Rutgers offered Hill a $600,000 buyout that was rejected by Hill's representatives, according to a source with direct knowledge of the negotiations.
A number of sources have confirmed that ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla, a former coach for St. John's, Manhattan and New Mexico, as well as Jim O'Brien, a former Ohio State and Boston College coach, are said to be high on Rutgers' wish list as possible replacements for Hill.

Re: then there could be a legal battle ahead for whether Hill will be terminated for cause.

I'm sure O'Brien could give both parties some advice on that one.
