Former UVA assistant basketball coach Bobby Gonzalez was arrested July 5th in Newark, New Jersey. He stands accused of stealing a $1400 Deerfield Vachetta mailbag satchel (known as a man purse) from the Polo store in the Short Hills Mall on June 29.
Gonzalez, who was on Pete Gillen’s bench at UVA, Providence, and Xavier, was fired March 17th as the head coach of Seton Hall after a series of often bizarre incidents.
Coach "Gonzo" often called sportswriters in the New York area to rip them for their coverage.
