Hofstra basketball coach Tim Welsh has resigned days after he was charged with drunken driving.
The resignation was announced today. Welsh was hired in March and suspended by Hofstra back on Friday. The school accepted the resignation "in the best interests of the university and of the men's basketball program."
Welsh was arrested Friday morning after Nassau County police found him stopped at a green light at an intersection in the city of Levittown. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment and is due back in district court Tuesday.
Welsh previously coached at Iona and Providence. He spent the past two seasons as a TV commentator with ESPN. His lawyer did not immediately return a telephone message.
