Scout.com: Hoop Media Day: “Penn State basketball coach Ed DeChellis has more than a little salesman in him. But when it came to stripping the names from the backs of the Nittany Lions’ jerseys this year, it wasn’t so much about peddling game programs as it was about building team pride for an outfit that hasn’t enjoyed a winning season in nearly half a decade.
“I think the name on the front of the jersey is very important,” DeChellis said at PSU’s hoop Media Day Tuesday. “It is the only name we should be worried about. We’ll go back to old school and put focus on the name of the front of the jersey, as it should be.””
