Taylor interviews at Penn
Remember Billy Taylor's statement about having had no contact with Penn about its vacant head coaching job? Apparently that needs to be updated.

There are reports today in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News and the student Daily Pennsylvanian that Taylor has already interviewed with Penn A.D. Steve Bilsky.

The Daily Pennsylvanian also adds the name of former George Washington and St. John's coach Mike Jarvis to the list of candidates while saying former Lehigh coach Dave Duke, who was an assistant to Penn coach Fran Dunphy before Dunphy took the Temple job, has the support of a lot of current Penn players.

The Pennsylvanian also reports whoever gets the job will be the John R. Rockwell Head Coach of Men's Basketball, reflecting the decision of Rockwell, a Penn alum, to endow the head basketball coach position. The student paper speculates the move will give Penn more money to work with to attract and keep a new coach.
