Pat Hobbs has an ally.
Well, he probably has a whole bunch. When he received a contract extension yesterday, it was University President Robert Barchi and the Board of Governors who told Hobbs that they were his allies. And they showed their commitment to him and what he is doing.
Our Aaron Breitmann wrote about that earlier today, specifically focusing on Hobbs’ role in - at least a first blush - the miraculous turnaround in men’s basketball. From the hiring of Steve Pikiell to the opening up of the wallet to hire the best staff that could be found, Hobbs has changed the conversation about the games on the hardwood at RU.
