Ex-Holy Family B-Ball Player Arrested

Man who was shoved to the ground by his coach is arrested for allegedly stealing beer at CBP

The former player, best known for being pushed by his coach, was arrested at the Phillies game on Wednesday.

A former college basketball player who was shoved to the ground in a videotaped incident that led to his coach's resignation faces a felony theft charge after police say he swiped two beverages from a concession stand during a Phillies game.

Police say 20-year-old Matthew Kravchuk swiped the drinks worth $15 from a Citizens Bank Park concession stand during Wednesday night's Phillies-Mets game. Authorities say Kravchuk faces a felony charge because of prior offenses.

Kravchuk left the basketball team at Holy Family University and sought criminal charges against his former coach over a shoving incident involving a rebounding drill during practice. Prosecutors declined to file charges.

Coach John O'Connor resigned before the last game of the season.
