Report: Everhart Staying At Duquesne
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Penn State is still in the market for a men's basketball coach after Ron Everhart decides to stay at Duquesne.
Ron Musselman of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Everhart has withdrawn his name for consideration.
Everhart told Musselman, "I really appreciate the Penn State opportunity, and I appreciate the process. But, at the same time, it's awful difficult to leave a place and a program you have worked so hard to put your stamp on."
The Duquesne basketball team has had 4 winning seasons in the last 5 under Everhart's direction.
Everhart reportedly has three years left on a contract with the Dukes that pays him $400,000 per season.
Musselman reports that Boston University head coach Pat Chambers is the front-runner for the job.
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee head coach Rob Jeter has also interviewed for the position.
