Brandin Knight officially named assistant coach at Rutgers

It had been rumored for some time that former Pitt basketball assistant coach Brandin Knight was working on a deal to join the Rutgers staff. On Monday, that announcement became official. I answered some questions for SB Nation's Rutgers blog, On the Banks, which had been anticipating the hiring for some time - you can head over there and see what I had to say on it.

Somewhat interesting here is that this is essentially a lateral move for Knight in terms of stature. It was believed he could leave Pitt to take an Associate Head Coach job as the top assistant on a staff, but Knight didn't get that at Rutgers, as the school filled that position with Karl Hobbs.
