Jordan Theodore gets hit with a gun charge stemming from a family feud with Keon Lawrence

Bobby Gonzalez may be gone, now working as a sideline reporter for the MAAC Tournament, but that doesn't mean that life is any less hectic at Seton Hall.

Back on February 12th, Keon Lawrence and Jamel Jackson were kicked off of the Pirate basketball team due to a curfew violation. After the two were given the boot, Jordan Theodore told New Jersey News Room: "He really didn't want to do it. But as a coach, you can only take so much. So it's like when guys are repeatedly doing the wrong thing, it's like, 'OK I have to step in and do my job now.' That's what he did. Nobody on the team thinks he made the wrong move. Guys understand."

That was just the beginning.

During Seton Hall's February 15th game against Villanova at the Prudential Center, Tiffany Accor, the partner of Lawrence's mom, confronted Theodore's mother in the stands:

According to the incident report Carol Theodore filed with Newark police, "Miss Theodore states that she was in Section 4, Row 1, Seat 8 when she was approached by another female, who asked her if she had seen the article in the newspaper about Keon Lawrence getting kicked off the team. This female then began assaulting Miss Theodore from behind, striking her with a closed fist all about the head, neck and upper back area. Miss Theodore states that she believes that this woman attacked her because she thinks that Miss Theodore's son Jordan is responsible for Keon Lawrence getting kicked off the team."

According to the incident report, Carol Theodore "was transported to UMDNJ via private ambulance from The Prudential Center." The injuries were "not life-threatening," according to the report.

There's more.

Darlene Epps, Lawrence's mother, accused Jordan Theodore of, well, just read it:

After the game, Epps alleges, Theodore and two "unknown assailants" appeared outside Lawrence's dorm room.

She told Rosenbluth that Lawrence called her upset and said, "Jordan and two men in ski masks are banging on my door."

At that point, Epps told the judge, "I drove to Xavier Hall. I seen with my own eyes Jordan Theodore and two men standing with him."

At one point in her explanation to Rosenbluth, Epps indicated she saw the men with one handgun in the Xavier Hall parking lot. At another juncture, she said she saw three guns. Asked if there was enough light in the parking lot to see the men and the guns, she said there was.

"I seen a gun in the perpetrator's hand," she said at one point, apparently referring to one of the two men with Theodore.

Later, she said: "All three of them had guns, your honor."

Now, the judge would later say that he found Epps' testimony to be suspect (which it is. I strongly urge you to read Adam Zagoria's full report) and that he had trouble believing Theodore actually had a gun, but he still found enough probable cause that Theodore was charged with unlawful possession of a weapon on school property.

Honestly, I don't know what to believe here.

Is it possible Theodore and a couple of his boys have confronted Lawrence for the incident between their mothers? Yes. Is there a chance that a gun was involved? Yes. Could Lawrence's mother have made this entire story up -- or at least embellished the details -- to get revenge on Theodore because she believed that Theodore was responsible for Lawrence being kicked out of school? Absolutely.

The point is that this incident just goes to show you the insanity that is the Seton Hall program. I'm not sure what is crazier. That a player would pull on a gun on an ex-teammate because of a fight between their family members, or that the mother of an ex-player would accuse a current player of pulling a gun to get revenge. I will say that neither of these situations are in anyway good for a basketball program.

This incident is just another day in the life of a Seton Hall Pirate. Herb Pope nearly died this summer. Jeremy Hazell was shot on Christmas. Pope tried to punch a Texas Tech player below the belt twice in an NIT game last year. Bobby Gonzalez was fired for a laundry list of offenses, then proceeded to get caught trying to steal a $1,400 satchel. Robert Mitchell was arrested for kidnapping and robbing a house full of people at gun point.

I wonder if Kevin Willard was prepared for what he was walking into.
