Head Coach Steve Pikiell’s Personality Will Define Rutgers Basketball

Steve Pikiell was hired as the Rutgers men’s basketball coach in late March and to say he has hit the ground running since would be a gross understatement. It’s more appropriate to say he has flown off the runway going at mach 2 speed. He has hired arguably the best coaching staff in program history, reshaped offseason strength and conditioning workouts, recruited in a strategic and relentless way, and added multiple players to the roster, both for next season and in the future. In just a few months, the culture within the program is dramatically different and the changes are all positive.
