Today, Steve Politi reported that the coaching search for Rutgers men's basketball is down to three candidates: George Washington head coach Mike Lonergan; Stony Brook head coach Steve Pikiell; Iona head coach Tim Cluess. While all Lonergan was reportedly interviewed on Monday, Pikiell and Cluess just saw their seasons come to an end with losses in the NCAA tournament. Based on the report, it's likely they will interview this weekend.
Let's concede that Hobbs has narrowed his scope of candidates to these three coaches. We have included all three as potential replacements as far back as February, so it's not a surprise.
