A former all-conference player has been reinstated to the Hinsdale South High School basketball team, his mother said, after she filed a federal lawsuit to get him back on the court.
Brendan Savage, a senior, had started on the varsity team the past two seasons, but last school year, after tendinopathy limited his practice time, he filed a complaint that he was pressured by his coach, Michael Moretti. Officials at Hinsdale South, which is in Darien, investigated Moretti for 'verbal abuse, bullying (and) humiliation,' according to the lawsuit, and later demoted him from varsity coach to freshman basketball coach.
