San Diego coach Lamont Smith was arrested Sunday on domestic violence charges, according to public records obtained by 10news.com.

The incident occurred at the team hotel in San Francisco, following the Toreros’ 64-61 win over the Dons on Saturday night. The victim was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injuries. She claims to have been in an intimate relationship with Smith.

The university released a statement to 10news.com, saying:

San Diego finished the regular season 18-12 and 9-9 in the West Coast Conference. The Toreros earned the 6 seed in the WCC Tournament and will face BYU in the quarterfinals on Saturday. No word yet on whether Smith will coach that game.
