Penn State Basketball: Condon Set To Fill Vacant Assistant Role

The search is over and instead of looking outside the program, Penn State will promote director of basketball operations Ross Condon to fill the assistant coaching vacancy left by Brian Daly.

Jon Rothstein of CBSSports initially reported the news. Program sources confirmed the move that has yet to be officially announced.

Having been with Penn State since 2011 and with head coach Patrick Chambers at Boston University since 2009. Condon previously served as director of basketball operations at Radford University. Condon was a walk-on at Villanova while Chambers was an assistant there under head coach Jay Wright.

Condon fills the position on Chambers’ staff opened by Daly after deciding to leave the program to be with his family in Philadelphia.

During Penn State’s coaches recent Coaches Caravan tour Chambers told reporters he had received calls and inquires about the staff opening from roughly 150 candidates. Condon may not have unrivaled credentials, but his familiarity with Penn State, Chambers’ staff and the recruiting trail will pay immediate dividends during a crucial offseason.
