Columbus, Ohio ? Ohio State must pay former men’s basketball coach Jim O’Brien more than $2.4 million for his wrongful firing in 2004, an appeals court ordered Thursday. The 10th District Court of Appeals also ruled that O’Brien should not receive an additional $1.3 million that he had said he was owed by the university. In the majority ruling, Judges Donna Bowman and G. Gary Tyack affirmed a decision by the Ohio Court of Claims. Judge Judith L. French dissented.
