Possible Hoops coach candidate has "not been contacted"

Earlier this month, Adam Zagoria reported that Robert Morris assistant coach Andy Toole was a (if not the) leading candidate for the Penn coaching job. But it looks as if we can put those rumors to rest.

Toole told The Daily Pennsylvanian today that he has not yet been contacted by anyone about the Penn coaching position -- nor does he "plan on being contacted by anyone."

"As far as I know, Jerome is still the coach," Toole said. And Toole thinks that should Allen's position be made permanent, the interim coach would do a "terrific job" in large part because of his ability to manage players, assistants and to handle the enthusiasm of the Penn community.

Still, Toole expressed his interest in the position should it be given to him. "When the opportunity to coach your alma mater is presented to you," he said, "I think a lot of people would be interested"
