Harnum Takes Over Department, For Now: Rider head coach Don Harnum is moving up, but only temporarily, as he will become the full-time interim athletic director on September 1. Curtis Blake retired as the school’s athletic director, and the school expects to have a permanent replacement by the end of the 2005-06 academic year. Harnum has been the head coach at Rider for eight seasons, posting a record of 127-104, and is expected to resume those duties once the school has a new athletic director. He has recommended assistant Tommy Dempsey as his replacement to lead the basketball team for next season. [6/28/05]
