Temple hires Penn State assistant Fisher to replace McKie

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Temple named Penn State assistant Adam Fisher just its fifth coach since 1973 on Wednesday.

Fisher's goal will be to turn around a program that hasn't made the NCAA Tournament since 2019.

Fisher replaces Aaron McKie, who was transferred out of the coaching job earlier this month after four seasons and a 52-56 overall record with no tournament berths. McKie is now a special advisor to the athletic department.
