According to CBS Sports college basketball reporter Jon Rothstein, Rutgers is close to adding a new special assistant to head coach Steve Pikiell’s staff.

While not confirmed, it’s possible that Hayn has been brought in to replace longtime Pikiell assistant Dan Rickard. He was hired by Pikiell for a senior advisor role at Rutgers back in April, but Rickard returned to Stony Brook soon after, becoming the associate head coach of the women’s basketball team.
