Sources indicate that Penn State University will likely hire Boston University head men’s basketball coach Patrick Chambers to be the Nittany Lions’ next coach, MSG and CBS Network college basketball Jon Rothstein tweeted Thursday.
Amid these swarm of rumors surrounding the head coaching vacancy at Penn State, Chambers recently had agreed to a contract extension in early May to remain at BU through the 2015-16 campaign.
Chambers, who just completed his second season as the Terriers’ bench boss, owns a career 42-28 record, with two postseason tournament appearances, including a berth in the 2011 NCAA Tournament.
Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports tweeted that, per his sources, Chambers has not yet been offered the job, but that he is “in the mix.”
If Chambers is indeed hired by Penn State, BU would be placed with the task of conducting a search for a new coach at a very late moment of the proverbial coaching carousel.
A team official said that there was no comment on the situation when contacted by The Daily Free Press this afternoon.
