STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Coach Ed DeChellis, who led Penn State to the NCAA tournament this year, has resigned to take the vacant job at Navy, according to a person in the Penn State athletic department familiar with the situation.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because DeChellis’ resignation has not been publicly announced by the university. The Patriot-News of Harrisburg first reported the move late Monday afternoon. A news conference was scheduled for Monday evening.

DeChellis declined comment when contacted by the AP.

The move comes as a surprise, after DeChellis orchestrated his alma mater’s first NCAA bid in a decade. The Nittany Lions lost to Temple, 66-64, in the second round.
