After leading Stony Brook to the NCAA tournament this season, Steve Pikiell has reportedly been hired as Rutgers' next men's head basketball coach.
Steve Politi of NJ.com first reported the news Saturday, and ESPN.com's Jeff Goodman later confirmed the move.
The 48-year-old native of Bristol, Connecticut, spent the past 11 seasons as head coach of the Seawolves, compiling a record of 190-155 during that time.
He led Stony Brook to a 26-7 record this season, including an America East conference title and the first NCAA tournament berth in school history. Although the Seawolves were blown out 85-57 by an underseeded Kentucky team, it was a banner year for the program.
