In today's Morning Call, writes about the possibility of Lehigh coach Billy Taylor being a candidate for the now-vacant Penn job.
According to Jones, Taylor's name seemed far down the list early in the week, but seems to gain some momentum. What makes Jones think so?
The Daily Pennsylvanian, Penn's student newspaper, reported Wednesday that several "big supporters" of Quaker basketball are lobbying for Taylor. The paper said McCaffery is among the most vocal of those, and that he "has Bilsky's ear."
Gordie . . . Pal . . . Buddy -- you could have written that column two weeks ago if you read Hoop Time.
Anyhow, McCaffery tells Jones that he thinks Taylor will be talking to Penn A.D. Steve Bilsky about the job and calls Taylor "a perfect fit" for the job.
