Penn State’s team is a family. That’s something head coach Jeff Tambroni has instilled in his players from day one.
It’s easy to simply tell the players to treat their teammates like brothers, but Tambroni leads by example, and that example starts with his relationship with associate head coach Peter Toner.
Tambroni and Toner are similar in many ways. Both men are husbands, fathers and coaches with years of experience in the game.
The similarities between the two are no coincidence. Tambroni and Toner’s relationship is more than just professional.
“It’s definitely a very close relationship,” Toner said.
