Penn Cambria Coach?

Has Penn Cambria made any progress in the search to replace Bruce Fryckland as basketball coach.

Have they advertised yet?
Have they interviewed yet?
If so, who are the candidates?

Must not be any interest in the Penn Cambria job.

Rumor has it...Larry Brown was seen in Sheetz' in Cresson!

They don't even sell beer at the Cresson Sheetz yet. Oh my bad, I was thinking of Bobby Huggins.

vman, thought you would enjoy the jab at our rivals to the south.

Gotcha hilly, kind of amazing what transpired there! Beilien(? sp) pays what $ 2.5 mil to leave when he had a ton of talent returning and Huggy bolts K St. quicker than a jack rabbit! Would love to see the Beasley kid(consensus #1 player in nation who gave Pitt some serious consideration) bolt KSU for Pitt but unlikely since K St. hired his hs or aau coach!!!!

And clip, you may be close there....McCort would be very lucky to hold on to PH for the long term. Someone is going to offer him a deal he can't refuse sooner or later.... ala T. Koshute!

I'm sure it is tough for private schools to be competitive in pay for not only teachers but for coaches as well. Although you never coach at the HS level for money...I'm sure at some point when it's thousands of dollars in difference...it makes a difference. I guess I am asking is there much of a pay difference between catholic and private basketball jobs? I would say the average starting job at a public LHAC school would be 3200ish. How about at any private school? Just curious.

It was quite impressive what PH did this past season with the Crushers. I know the OG wrote them off as soon as Cruz was down with the injury.

The guy sure does have a knack of working with young people and getting the most out of them. Good luck to PH no matter what his future endeavors might be.

vman, I give WVU 2 years until Huggy has them on probation.

I am not sure how coaching salaries compare in public vs. private. I know one thing, a teaching salary could be double or more in favor of the public school.

Good info Username6. Were you trying to make a point, or am I reading too much into that?

Hilly, remember GOTW when I said you resemble Bob Huggins? I truly take that back now, as Huggins has become a pariah in my humble opinion. You did have the Huggins look going for a while though.

My graduation rate is 100% while Huggins' is about 3%.
