Penn State basketball coach Pat Chambers resigns after an investigation into his alleged inappropriate conduct, including a reference to a noose

Pat Chambers resigned as Penn State’s basketball coach Wednesday following an internal investigation by the school into allegations of inappropriate conduct.

Chambers, 49, had been at Penn State for nine years and was coming off the team’s best season under his directions.

Penn State athletic director Sandy Barbour said during a news conference that she would not disclose details of the school’s investigation, but did say NCAA matters were not part of the investigation.

The investigation followed July story by ESPN’s “The Undefeated” that quoted a former Penn State player saying Chambers made an insensitive remark to him, referencing a noose during the 2018-19 season.
