Instead, Sherrone claimed that Paige had "set him up" by misinterpreting the events to the authorities. Subsequently, it led to his firing from his job and eventual arrest on the same day. Moreover, he hinted that their personal and professional relationship had soured before the incident. The former Michigan coach stated that he made several attempts to end their bond, which might be the cause behind her legal action, adding to his woes.
