Rutgers Basketball Assistant Jay Young Preaches Defense & Rebounding

Among the three assistant coaches that Steve Pikiell hired in April once he took over at Rutgers, Jay Young was the least known for most fans. Associate head coach Karl Hobbs won Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year honors in 2006 and led George Washington to the NCAA tournament three times. Of course, he was also a longtime assistant at UConn, where he was a part of two national championship teams. Brandin Knight was one of the best players in recent Big East history at Pitt and served as a longtime assistant under Jamie Dixon there the past 8 seasons.
