To me it comes down to one simple fact, we hired him to make the NCAA tournament, and after 7 years we have not made it. Now, we were close last year and the NIT tourny win was nice; but we all expected much more this season. This season is a HUGE disappointment and I just don't see us bouncing back next year to make a NCAA run, so if we finished next year with no NCAA invite, that would be 9 years. I am just not willing to wait around another year. As for the type of players we have gotten, he has one 4-star to speak of (Brooks and he is joke). We usually get a 3-star everyyear (2009-Frazier, 2008-Babbs, 2007-Battle), but these kids don't develop (other than Battle). I think with the right coach, running the right system, this team could prosper next year. It is time to move on from Coach DeChellis. We are Penn State.

Dechellis is responsible for recruiting this pack of loers. He hasn't developed Brooks or Jones. ANd many of his players are marginal B-10 players at best. He's had 7 years to get to the NCAA. It's clear his program is mired in incomeptence and failure. He needs to go NOW. Bob you are wrong. Dechellis is responsible for recruiting this pack of loers. He hasn’t developed Brooks or Jones.

Fire Dechellis ASAP. The program is a total disaster and Dechellis is a weak and feeble leader. I'm tired of years of his ineptitude. Totally agree. Fire Dechellis ASAP.

However, one-hundred percent- (100%) of his players staying at Penn State (Hail State)for their entire college careers have graduated. That's something, a very, very big something. I've watched as many games as I could on TV and it looks like the guys are getting very open shots, but they do not drain as many of them as they should. Can't ask more from a coach than to draw someting up that get's someone open. But they have to hit the shot. Foul bricks are also a problem that I do not believe De is at fault. It's the recruting and not being able to get too many four or five star playwers to come here. Although three of the current players were given four star ratings in HS and look at them. Battle was only a three starer I believe? One more thing please, Don’t know if its time for him to go- yet!
