RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Former North Carolina State men's basketball coach Mark Gottfried is suing the school for buyout money he says has been improperly withheld.

Attorneys for Gottfried - now Cal State Northridge's head coach - filed the lawsuit in a North Carolina federal court Monday, saying N.C. State violated a March 2017 termination agreement. N.C. State was due to pay Gottfried remaining salary in monthly installments through the April 2020 end of his contract, according to a copy of the agreement filed with the lawsuit.

But the complaint states the school hasn't paid Gottfried since August 2018.
