PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Chris Ash bounced from drill to drill at his first spring practice as Rutgers' new football coach Thursday, alternating from offense to defense, offering encouragement and warnings to his players.
"Finish every play," he said, later adding: "If you don't finish, you won't be here."
Music blasted inside the practice bubble for the entire hour the media was permitted to watch.
Ash's wife and infant son along with his mother-in-law were on the sidelines. So were athletic director Pat Hobbs and booster Ron Garuitti, who, along with his wife, Joanna, donated $1.25 million to overhaul the weight room in the Hale Center.
