I have heard from multiple sources over the past 24 hours that the Bucknell search has been narrowed down to 5-6 candidates.  It sounds like interviews will wrap up this week, and a decision could be made by Friday.  The names that I’ve heard are:

Jim Engles – Head Coach NJIT.  Won 21 games this past season at NJIT and advanced to the semi-finals of the Collegeinsider.com post-season tournament.  Has been the head coach of the Highlanders since 2008.  Engles has also been an assistant at Wagner, Rider, and Columbia.

Dane Fischer – Associate Head Coach Bucknell.  Has spent the past seven seasons with Dave Paulsen at Bucknell.  Was also an assistant to Paulsen at Williams College.  Spent three seasons as an assistant at Rider.
