A former basketball coach in West Linn is accusing Brigham Baker, the athletic director at West Linn High School, and the West Linn-Wilsonville School District of racial discrimination.
Babak Zolfaghari-Azar, the former assistant coach and junior varsity coach for West Linn (referred to as Coach Z in the court filing), filed a complaint and a request for a jury trial in federal court on Wednesday. He claimed that the school district had chosen not to extend his contract with the basketball program due to racial discrimination.
