Seton Hall coach denies foul language

Bobby Gonzalez vehemently denied he used an expletive at fans sitting behind the Seton Hall bench in a 94-56 win over Navy on Dec. 22.

A fan, who asked that his name not be used, told The Post last night that Gonzalez told fans to, “Shut the [bleep] up” after they got on him for pleading his case with officials early in the game. The fan said several fans told Gonzalez to coach his players instead of arguing when Gonzalez wheeled and made his statement.

Gonzalez told The Post after a tough, 80-73 loss to Syracuse last night that the allegation was not true.

“Didn’t happen,” said Gonzalez. “It’s false.”
