Easy choice.
Successful as a Princeton assistant.
Successful as a Princeton head coach.
Great connections to New Jersey.
Okay, so he hasn't been there for a while. And he didn't help get Northwestern to its first-ever appearance in the NCAA tournament.
So?
So what.
He's a great guy.
He has a ton of integrity.
He has great East Coast connections.
And he'll help heal the Rutgers community.
So if you cannot get a Hurley from perhaps the first family of NJ high school basketball, then try to get someone from the Princeton family.
Sure, it has been an arch-rival of Rutgers.
Sure, it's the snooty school down the road, the elite private university.
Whatever.
It's hoops program has a great tradition.
One in which Bill Carmody played a significant part.
He's the right guy at the right time.
Pretty much a non-controversial pick.
Rutgers would be wise to hire him.
