Report: Steve Pikiell Promotes Steve Hayn As Next Rutgers Men’s Basketball Assistant

The search is over.

After Jay Young moved on to take the Fairfield Stags head coaching spot, Rutgers coach Steve Pikiell had a major hole to fill on his assistant coaching staff. And while it seems like Pikiell did his due diligence interviewing for the position, he didn’t have to go far to fill it.

Steve Hayn was a senior advisor to Steve Pikiell. He was formerly the head coach for the United States Merchant Marines Academy. Before that he was an assistant at Central Connecticut State with Steve Pikiell under Howie Dickenman. He’s been in coaching for over 25 years.
