A lawsuit has been filed against the University of Regina by former women’s basketball coach Jordan Webb. According to CBC, Webb claims that he was hired to lead the team in April 2026 and then wrongfully terminated due to “reasons which were entirely political, personal and/or gender related.” CBC and the Leader-Post report that the decision to hire Webb instead of interim coach Michaela Kleisinger for the full-time coaching role generated controversy in the university community. The university conducted a review of the hiring decision and ultimately opted to offer Kleisinger the role. Webb is reportedly seeking severance pay, punitive damages, costs, and interest.
