Daily News | A timeline of Temple hiring its new men’s basketball head coach Adam Fisher
Temple’s hiring of former Penn State associate head coach Adam Fisher late Wednesday, culminated a 16-day nationwide search for the replacement of Aaron McKie, who resigned following four seasons as head coach of the Owls.
Rutgers assistant Karl Hobbs received a Zoom interview with Temple last week. According to sources with knowledge of the situation, Hobbs, 61, believed he wouldn’t have any problems getting Temple back to the NCAA Tournament.Instead, Temple’s athletic director Arthur Johnson and the search firm the school appointed narrowed the list down to three finalists that were hosted on campus from Sunday to Tuesday: Vermont head coach John Becker and Missouri assistant Charlton “C.Y.
Young successfully recruited former No. 1 recruit Derrick Favors while at Georgia Tech, and five future NBA Draft selections under Leonard Hamilton at Florida State. Tuesday afternoon, Temple announced that its president, Jason Wingard, would be stepping down on Friday. According to Johnson, Young eventually went back to Missouri without an offer from Temple, but sources with knowledge of the proceedings suggest otherwise.Attempts to reach Young for comment were unsuccessful at the time of this report.
