With Rutgers men's basketball coach Steve Pikiell and associate head coach Karl Hobbs both having long histories at UConn, I turned to SB Nation's The UConn Blog for some more insight. Aman Kidwai is the managing editor of the sight and he was nice enough to answer my questions.
Steve Pikiell and Karl Hobbs are both former captains of the UConn basketball team, with Pikiell serving under hall of fame coach Jim Calhoun at the beginning of his tenure. Although Pikiell was only an assistant coach for one season 25 years ago, have UConn fans followed his coaching career at all?
