Rudy Wise added to coaching staff

To handle a playing roster that is at least 20-deep, Penn's gonna need a lot of coaching, right?

Penn Athletics announced today the addition of Rudy Wise as an assistant coach, joining head coach Jerome Allen and assistants Mike Martin and Dan Leibovitz.

"It is a privilege for us to have Rudy Wise on staff," Allen said in a statement. "He has been successful in a number of walks of life, including basketball. I look forward to having him on the bench with me, and I think he will have a positive impact on our program going forward."

Wise has worked a number of small jobs in the Philly basketball scene, including stints at Villanova and Temple (he ran a summer camp and workouts at Temple last summer).

"I am extremely humbled and excited to be a part of this storied program," Wise said in a statement. "I look forward to working with Coach Allen and complementing his vision to push this program to new heights"
