Bobby Era Officially Gonzo At Hall

It only took five months, but the bitter divorce between Bobby Gonzalez and Seton Hall University has apparently come to a long-awaited close, as the former coach of the Pirates has reached a settlement with the program he led to a 66-59 record during his four years in charge.

Although terms of the settlement remain undisclosed at this moment, it is no doubt a positive end to the sequence of events that Gonzalez has endured in the time following his departure from the Seton Hall program; from the expletive-laden phone conversation with Seton Hall official Patrick Hobbs to his recent arrest for shoplifting a satchel from a New Jersey mall.

Gonzalez has made no secret of his desire to return to the college basketball universe, while Seton Hall prepares for their 2010-11 campaign with returning starters Jeremy Hazell, (the team's leading scorer in each of the last two seasons) Herb Pope and Jeff Robinson; not to mention new head coach Kevin Willard, who comes to the Pirates from Iona College.
