USC WOMEN'S COACH REINSTATED

Marianne Stanley, who sued the University of Southern California and athletic director Mike Garrett alleging sex discrimination, was ordered reinstated to her job as women's basketball coach by a judge, pending another hearing.

Stanley claimed in her $8 million lawsuit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, that she was promised a lucrative multiyear contract if she turned around the team's losing program. According to the lawsuit, she took the job four years ago at a salary of $60,000. Lawyer Robert Bell said Friday his client was making $68,000 when her four-year contract expired this summer.

Al Latham, attorney for the school and Garrett, said the school's best offer was $90,000 a year, plus a $6,000 annual housing allowance. Friday, judge Robert O'Brien ordered the school to reinstate Stanley to her job at that salary, with full benefits, pending a hearing Aug. 20. In her lawsuit, Stanley alleged sex discrimination and retaliation, wrongful discharge, breach of implied contract and conspiracy.
