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.
