NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

05/11/2010 - Moon Township, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Robert Morris University has named Andrew Toole as the school's new head basketball coach.

Toole, an assistant with the Colonials for the last three seasons, takes over for Mike Rice, who left to become the head coach at Rutgers last week.

The 29-year-old Toole began his collegiate coaching career at Lafayette in the 2006-07 season and joined the Robert Morris staff the following year. Toole was promoted to associate head coach for the 2008-09 season.

He played for two years at Elon and then transferred to Penn, where he helped the Quakers reach the NCAA tournament in 2002 and 2003, and was a co-captain of the 2002-03 squad.

Robert Morris finished this past season at 23-12 and fell in overtime to Villanova in the first round of the NCAA tournament after nearly pulling off a stunning upset of the second-seeded Wildcats.
