Yesterday, Rutgers formally announced the support staff for the men's basketball team. There were no surprises in terms of personnel hired, as each person had been linked to Rutgers in the past month. However, now that we know everyone's specific roles, it's time to review their potential impact on the program.
Dan Rickard - Senior Advisor
Rickard played for Steve Pikiell at Stony Brook and became a graduate assistant when he finished school in 2004. He was promoted to a full-time assistant coach in 2007 and ran the offense for Pikiell ever since. To have such an experienced coach and someone with deep ties to Pikiell in a non-assistant role speaks volumes about the head coach.
