SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - Seton Hall men’s basketball head coach Bobby Gonzalez will be suspended for the first BIG EAST Conference game of the 2008-09 season for failure to comply with University and BIG EAST policies; it was announced today by Director of Athletics Joe Quinlan.
“Bobby Gonzalez’s criticism of BIG EAST officials following the Seton Hall-Rutgers game on March 9 is unacceptable and is not representative of Seton Hall University athletics,” said Quinlan. “The BIG EAST provides the best roster of game officials for our students in the country. They represent the game and the conference with great integrity and dignity. We regret any embarrassment this episode may have brought to the BIG EAST and our fellow institutions.”
