Dan Leibovitz may be leaving Penn for the Charlotte Bobcats

Assistant coach Dan Leibovitz could be heading to the Charlotte Bobcats to take a position as a player development coach.

Jeff Goodman of CBS Sports was the first to report the news, via Twitter Thursday morning:

However, Leibovitz has not yet signed a contract with the Bobcats.

Leibovitz has a longtime friendship with Mike Dunlap, who was hired as the head coach of the Bobcats on June 20.

Leibovitz graduated from Penn in 1996 and rejoined his alma mater in April 2010. Prior to his return, he was the head coach at the University of Hartford for four seasons. He also served as the top assistant coach at Temple under John Chaney for 10 seasons.

Head coach Jerome Allen may be forced to find another new assistant coach to replace Leibovitz. Penn already hired two new assistants earlier this summer, Ira Bowman and Jason Polykoff, to take over for Mike Martin and Rudy Wise, respectively.
