Wilson latest to leave Quakers for Temple
The Penn athletic department suffered another defection to the Owls program last week when Jeff Wilson, the former director of men's and women's basketball operations, left for a similar position at Temple.
He leaves after a year with the Quakers to work at his alma mater, where he graduated two years ago. "He did a tremendous job last year at Penn and will help make the transition here a smooth one," said Temple coach Fran Dunphy in a statement.
Wilson has also worked as a talent scout in the Mid-Atlantic region for NBA teams and as an executive for the American Basketball Association.
