In the afternoon session of Big Ten Media Day, I was able to sit with Rutgers men’s basketball head coach Steve Pikiell and ask him in depth about the challenges ahead in rebuilding the program. He was candid in what needs to happen and showed great enthusiasm for the work ahead of him. Pikiell is not phased one bit in what needs to be done to build this program from the ground floor up. He has jumped into this with both eyes wide open and is definitely someone who is motivated by the many doubters the program has. Here are his unfiltered comments on how he is approaching things now and in the future, as well what needs to happen from others, including the fans and the community, in order to embrace this rebuild and make it a true team effort.
