As Rutgers Athletics Director Pat Hobbs enters the first full week in his search to replace Eddie Jordan as men's basketball coach, an outside-the-box candidate has entered the mix.
Jay Williams, a Plainfield, N.J., native who starred at St. Joseph-Metuchen and Duke before his promising NBA career was cut short following a motorcycle accident, interviewed with Hobbs Monday afternoon, three people with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance late Monday night.
Neither Hobbs nor Williams were available for comment, but the three people said Williams has joined a list of candidates that includes Rhode Island's Dan Hurley and George Washington's Mike Lonergan.
