Marshall Basketball: Penn State interested in Tom Herrion?

Yesterday it became official that former Penn State head basketball coach Ed DeChellis was leaving his alma mater for the same job at Navy. DeChellis’s odd choice to leave the Big Ten for Patriot league basketball has left Happy Valley stunned.

With the rumor mill already turning as Penn State looks for its next head coach one name that has been floated around is Marshall’s Tom Herrion.

College basketball reporter Jeff Goodman suggested that Herrion might be a good fit on twitter yesterday:

Penn State needs a dynamic personality & a big-time recruiter. Names come to mind: BU's Pat Chambers, Marshall's Tom Herrion, Tom Moore.

Obvious ties between Penn State and Herrion are few and far between but the current Marshall coach was an assistant at fellow Pennsylvania school Pittsburgh for three seasons.
