Towson lacrosse coach Nadelen not interested in pursuing other jobs
Despite six Division I men's lacrosse programs possibly trying to target him for its head-coaching vacancies, Towson coach Shawn Nadelen said he's not interested in interviewing at any school. "I don't know what else is out there, and I don't frankly care," said Nadelen, whose Tigers will face No. 7 seed Loyola Maryland in the NCAA quarterfinals Sunday at 2:30 p.m. in Providence, R.I. Towson athletic director Tim Leonard, who signed football coach Rob Ambrose to an extension after the team played in the Football Championship Subdivision title game in January 2014, said he does not intend to lose Nadelen to a competitor. "We're talking about what we need to do because I want to keep him here," Leonard said. "People would be crazy if he wasn't at the top of their list. But I'd much rather be in that position than having a coach that nobody wants."
