Penn has hired Fran McCaffery as its new men's basketball coach, two weeks after he was let go by Iowa. Penn fired Steve Donahue earlier this month after the Quakers went 8-19 in his ninth season on the job. McCaffery played three seasons with the Quakers, winning three conference titles while playing in two NCAA tournaments. McCaffery, who coached at Lehigh, UNC Greensboro and Sienna before being hired by the Hawkeyes in 2010, has a career record of 548-384.
