As reported earlier, Steve Pikiell is set to become the next Rutgers men's basketball coach. Pikiell is no flash, all substance. He is a proven program builder, high character, defensive minded coach. A two time captain for Jim Calhoun at UCONN, Pikiell helped the Huskies breakthrough and become a powerhouse program on the court. After working under Calhoun and his former assistant Karl Hobbs at George Washington, Pikiell established himself as a good recruiter. He took over a Stony Brook program that transitioned from Division II that had yet to be successful in their jump to Division I before his arrival.
