Kevin Ollie won his case against the school.
Jacques J. Parenteau said that the school has 10 business days to pay his client.
In the case, Mark Irvings ruled that Connecticut violated the collective bargaining agreement in firing Ollie.
The five-year contract extension that Ollie signed in May of last year tied him to the program through the 2018-19 season.
The NCAA opened an investigation into the men's basketball program at the University of Connecticut.
The school said on March 10, that it had begun the process of firing Ollie. The NCAA gave Ollie a three-year show-cause penalty because of violations that were deemed to have "exceeded the allowable amount of activity" during the preseason.
All of Connecticut's wins from the last two seasons are no longer valid.
The show-cause penalty for Ollie expires on July 2, 2022, according to Creg. He could potentially be hired by another school before that date, but it would have to meet with an NCAA committee to justify the move.
After the NCAA discipline was announced, Ollie issued a statement through his lawyer saying he was "disappointed with the NCAA Committee on Infractions decision but not surprised that the Committee acted to support its member institution in the dispute between the two parties."
In a letter to the university obtained by Myron Medcalf, Ollie argued that the school violated his rights under the United States Constitution and that he was seeking the remaining money on his contract.
He was the head coach for six seasons. The 49-year-old had two NCAA tournament appearances and a national title.
