Just a month before the start of the season, Penn State men's basketball coach Pat Chambers is stepping down from his position, the school announced Wednesday.
The news was initially reported by CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein. Assistant coach Jim Ferry will serve as the interim coach for the 2020–21 season.
Chambers, 49, has spent the last nine seasons at Penn State, and last year led the Nittany Lions to a 21–10 overall record and 11–9 Big Ten record—the latter representing his best mark while at the school.
