A Georgia college basketball coach is seeking reconsideration of rulings made by a federal judge after learning the judge allegedly had ”close personal connections” to the defendants named in the employment dispute.

Former Georgia Tech women’s basketball coach MaChelle Joseph alleges Chief Judge Timothy Batten Sr. of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia should have disqualified himself from presiding over her wrongful termination dispute with the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia and the Georgia Tech Athletic Association. Batten had a paid employment relationship and familial ties to the defendants, according to Joseph’s motion for reconsideration.
