Leibovitz leaves Hartford, possibly for Penn

The University of Hartford announced this evening that head coach Dan Leibovitz has resigned his position. Though Leibovitz signed a contract that would have kept him at Hartford until 2013-14, ESPN.com's Andy Katz reports that Leibovitz said he expects to be an assistant at Penn, replacing John Gallagher, who departed for Boston College to work under former Cornell coach Steve Donanhue (look for more on that in tomorrow's DP).

For those of you who have been following this blog, you'll know that Leibovitz told us in March that he was not interested in the Penn head coaching position and endorsed his friend Jerome Allen for the job. But he said nothing about returning to campus as one of Jerome Allen's new assistants.

We'll be updating this post as we get more information.
