Legendary Harding-Bridgeport head boys' basketball coach Charlie Bentley has been suspended indefinitely from both his teaching and coaching duties for allegedly slapping a female student at the school last week, according to Tuesday's edition of the Connecticut Post.
Bentley, who is among the state's all-time leaders with over 600 victories, did not coach in Harding's overtime loss at Trinity Catholic last week. According to the Post, the alleged incident occurred on the day of that particular game last Friday. Assault charges have been filed by the mother of the girl in question.
Bentley, a West Haven resident and the dean of students at the school, will remain on administrative leave until the incident is resolved.
