New Hofstra hoops coach Tim Welsh is in hot water after he was arrested early Friday morning and charged with DWI.
Hofstra Basketball Coach Tim Welsh Suspended After DUI Arrest
Hofstra has suspended Welsh without pay. Welsh hasn’t hired any assistant coaches, so it’s unclear who’s in charge of the program right now.
Police reportedly found Welsh asleep behind the wheel at a traffic light in Levittown, N.Y., with his foot resting on the brake pedal.
The school issued the following statement:
“We have learned through media reports of the charges against Mr. Welsh. Effective immediately, he has been suspended without pay, while the University investigates the charges against him.”
Welsh took over at Hofstra last month after previous head coach Tom Pecora left for Fordham. Welsh previously coached at Iona and Providence and has worked as a college basketball analyst for ESPN for the past two years.
