Rumors have been buzzing around message boards and on campus that University of Hartford coach Dan Leibovitz was in Penn last weekend to interview for the men's basketball coaching position.
But Leibovitz told The Daily Pennsylvanian there was no truth to the "ludicrous rumor." Not only did he not interview for the position, but he threw his endorsement behind interim coach Jerome Allen.
"I want Jerome to get the job," he said, adding "me interviewing for the job was the furthest thing to happen that weekend."
Apparently, Leibovitz came to campus to spend time with assistant coaches John Gallagher (who was one of his assistants at Hartford) and Mike Martin. While waiting for Gallagher to meet him at campus, he was spotted around Weightman Hall--and that's where the buzz began.
