Penn State officials will interview Duquesne basketball coach

Ron Everhart

for their vacant position at an undisclosed location today, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

Last week, Ed DeChellis left Penn State to take the same job at Navy. This came just 3 months after DeChellis led the Nittany Lions (19-15) to the NCAA Tournament.

In 5 years at Duquesne, Everhart, 49, has orchestrated four winning regular seasons, and has taken the Dukes to postseason play the last 3 years. He is 83-74 at Duquesne. In 17 seasons with McNeese State, Northeastern and Duquesne, Everhart is 257-239, but has yet to make the NCAA Tournament.

Valcke said that by using the word "bought," he meant that Qatar was using the "financial strength" of an energy-rich nation to lobby backing, but did not mean to claim any unethical behavior on its part.
