MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. — The face still seems impossibly young.

Look closer, though. A half decade into fighting the good fight — and winning with alarming regularity — at Robert Morris has left Andy Toole with the trademark frayed edges that belie the effortless vitality of a guy still not eligible to run for president.

There’s the slightest hint of lightening at the roots of 34-year-old head coach’s immaculately styled hair. There’s the rumor of hard-earned wrinkles below the eyes. Maybe it’s being the father of two young boys. Maybe it’s running one of the best programs you might not have heard of (at least, not yet). Maybe it’s both.

Either way, the age thing stopped being a thing for Toole long ago. Promoted in 2010 after Mike Rice left for Rutgers, the Ivy League-educated and relentlessly level-headed Toole has evolved from curiosity to one of the best young basketball minds in the country.

Yet of all the victories Toole has orchestrated — 109 and counting, including a nationally televised, “is this really happening” takedown of defending national champion Kentucky in the NIT two years ago and an even more decisive romp over St. John’s in the same tournament last spring — perhaps the biggest upset of Toole’s blossoming career is that he’s still around to lead the Colonials into the NCAA Tournament on Wednesday against North Florida.

Even his players can’t quite believe it Toole is still around.

Coaches who pile up Ws in off-the-map leagues like the Northeastern Conference are supposed to immediately jump at the first big paycheck thrown their way.

And yet Toole has remained at the rapidly growing campus 15 minutes west of downtown Pittsburgh playing in a brown-bleachered gym whose fans have affectionately given the Colonials the uniquely counterculture nickname “Bobby Mo.”

“Yeah, I’m a little surprised,” senior swingman Lucky Jones said. “But I know his heart is with Robert Morris. He’ll do anything to help make Robert Morris is successful.”

And the school remains intent on doing what it can to keep it that way as long as it can.

Funny, the people who used to ask athletic director Craig Coleman what he was thinking hiring a guy not yet out of his 20s to take over a program that made consecutive NCAA appearances in 2009 and 2010 now ask him what they can do to help make sure Toole doesn’t get too itchy.

Coleman understands athletics is “the front porch” to the rest of the university. Having a remarkable telegenic 30-something hold the door as the school undergoes an aggressive transformation from commuter-based safety school to first-choice destination— look no further than the skyrocketing need for on-campus housing as proof — is a pretty good place to start.
