Centre Daily Times: DeChellis receives contract extension

Centre Daily Times | 08/08/2006 | DeChellis receives contract extension:

“How much Ed DeChellis is concerned about his personal standing in the college basketball world was evident when the Penn State men’s basketball coach met with athletic director Tim Curley a few weeks after the season ended for DeChellis’ annual review.

“Curley wanted to discuss updating DeChellis’ contract. DeChellis checked his desk.

” ‘I couldn’t even find my first contract,’ he said Monday.

“DeChellis’ focus remains on improving his team, and Curley and Penn State liked what the 47-year-old has done in his first three seasons enough that they extended his current six-year deal by two years, keeping him in University Park through the 2010-11 season. …”
