.....and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. ~Lennon & McCartney March 17, 2003 STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania (Ticker)- Penn State basketball coach Jerry Dunn resigned Monday following his second consecutive 7-21 season. Working in the formidable shadow of football coach Joe Paterno, Dunn spent eight years at Penn State and guided the Nittany Lions to NCAA Tournament appearances in 1996 and 2001. Just two years ago, Penn State surprised Providence and second seed North Carolina to reach the regional semifinals. The Nittany Lions also advanced to the championship game of the NIT in 1998 but struggled the last two seasons, winning just five of 32 Big Ten Conference games. "I would like to have had more success over the past two seasons, but I am proud of our efforts and what we have accomplished over the past eight years," Dunn said in a statement. Dunn, 49, spent four years as an assistant under Bruce Parkhill before he was named coach on September 6, 1995. He compiled a 117-121 mark at Penn State, including a 45-87 record in Big Ten play. "I appreciate what Jerry has done for the men's basketball program," athletic director Tim Curley said. "Jerry Dunn has been a member of the basketball staff and Penn State community for 20 years. I have a great deal of respect for Jerry. He has a great work ethic, strong character and ran his program with class and dignity." Rumors have circulated that Duke assistant Steve Wojciechowski is a possible candidate for the job.
