O'Hanlon staying in Easton
Lafayette's Fran O'Hanlon had left a crack in the door, but yesterday he slammed it shut, withdrawing his name from consideration for the Penn job vacated when Fran Dunphy became the head coach at Temple.

O'Hanlon told the Philadelphia Daily News:
"If the timing had been any different, who knows? Penn was certainly one of the places I would at least listen to. But after thinking about it, I just think this is what's right. Believe me, I've had a lot of sleepless nights lately. It wasn't easy, by any means. Penn is a great university, a great program. At the same time, I feel a sense of loyalty to the people at Lafayette. And now that we can give out scholarships, I think there's more to accomplish here. But I'm honored and flattered that the people at Penn thought enough of me to call and ask if I'd be interested."
The Daily News says Lehigh's Billy Taylor "remains very much in the picture."
