Basketball player who scuffled with Holy Family coach arrested for theft
The last time we saw Matt Kravchuk, he was embroiled in conflict with his Holy Family University basketball coach. Now he’s facing theft charges stemming from an incident at last night’s Phillies game.
Police arrested Kravchuk, 19, for allegedly reaching behind a concession stand at Citizens Bank Park to take two drinks, which he then tried to conceal when he was confronted, the Inquirer reports.
South Detectives charged him with retail theft for the bottles, worth $15. Back in February, Kravchuk accused his Holy Family basketball coach, John O’Connor, of assault after O’Connor was seen on video hitting the player during what the coach called high-intensity practice. The D.A. did not file charges against O’Connor.
