The Penn State Basketball is close to completion. With the announcement that both Talor Battle and Nick Colella have been retained by Micah Shrewsberry, coupled with previous announcements of Mike Farrelly, Aki Collins, and Adam Fisher having joined the staff as assistants, only administrative roles are left to be filled by the new Nittany Lion coach.

Battle came on as an assistant last season under the previous coaching staff, and retaining the former guard was a “no brainer” for Coach Shrewsberry, citing Battle’s experience both as a player in the program and his time as a pro.
