It’s Bobby Gonzalez from Manhattan.

Seton Hall has hired Manhattan’s Bobby Gonzalez as its new men’s basketball coach, an athletic department official said Thursday.

The official requested anonymity because Gonzalez won’t be officially introduced as the Pirates’ coach until a Friday afternoon news conference at the school.

Gonzalez coached Manhattan for the last seven years, leading the Jaspers to NCAA tournament appearances in 2003 and 2004. Manhattan lost to Old Dominion 70-66 in the second round of the NIT this year and finished with a 20-11 record.

Before taking over the Jaspers, Gonzalez was an assistant at Xavier, Providence and Virginia.

George Mason gave Seton Hall permission to speak with Jim Larranaga, but he didn’t want to bother with them (ouch!).

No word on who Manhattan hires, but don’t they have to at least take a look at Barry Rohrssen?
