Former Penn State basketball coach Chambers lands new job

ALTOONA, Pa. -- Patrick Chambers is back in college basketball this season, taking the first step toward rebuilding his coaching career after being forced out at Penn State a year ago.

Chambers will be a volunteer assistant coach at La Salle, on the staff of fourth-year head coach Ashley Howard.

Chambers was forced to resign last October at Penn State after a school investigation into inappropriate conduct. The findings of that investigation were never made public, and several Nittany Lion basketball players were upset last year over not being told why their coach was forced out.
