Bobby Gonzalez is a goner from Seton Hall

Seton Hall University parted ways with their basketball coach today. Bobby Gonzalez, who had well...not much success at the Hall was let go today after his team lost in the 1st Round of the NIT Tournament which is as far as they've gotten in his 5 years at the helm.

Gonzalez also apparently was not particularly well thought of by his bosses though they had extended his contract back in the fall. Said the man overseeing the Athletic Department Patrick Hobbs "Performance and success are not measured solely by wins and losses but also in the conduct of those associated with the program". We aren't sure what that meant, but we might mention that Gonzalez had run-ins with other coaches over the course of his tenure along with amassing a pretty impressive string of technical fouls. He also was criticized by forward Robert Mitchell whom he subsequently threw off of the team.

None of this portray's Gonzalez particularly well. Another "Incident" which reflected rather badly on him and his team happened in the aforementioned NIT game, when Pirates forward Herb Pope...let's just say hit a Texas Tech player...slightly below the belt.

Seton Hall Not A Fan Of New Jersey HS Bigwigs

Seton Hall head coach Bobby Gonzalez ((pictured, wondering what high school folks are thinking, thanks Saed Hindash/Newark Star-Ledger)) got to address an allegation after a win over Depaul yesterday. The NJSIAA ((their acronym for the high school athletic association)) claims, through an investigation that a Hall assistant paid St. Patrick's High School ((currently ranked top 20 in the country)) three-grand in an attempt to steer the sons of former NBA-er Chris Washburn to Seton Hall after high school graduation.

This allegation, along with apparent video of St. Pats practicing three days before a state-wide law stating the days you can start workouts, has resulted in the team being kicked out of the state post-season tournament.

Oops...

“Basically, it’s just speculation,” Gonzalez said. “It really doesn’t involve us. There was nothing from the NCAA or our university, so it’s stuff that’s being talked about by the media and I guess, the high school association.”

St. Patrick's coach Kevin Boyle has admitted he violated state rules practicing before the early date.

Bobby Gonzalez still isn't pleased... and until we can find some up-to-date video, here's some old stuff with St. Pats and St. Benedict's
