NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -A person familiar with negotiations says Robert Morris basketball coach Mike Rice has agreed to become the coach at Rutgers.
The school plans to introduce Rice at a news conference later this week, the person told The Associated Press on Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because no official announcement had been made.
Fred Hill resigned two weeks ago after four seasons as coach of the Scarlet Knights. Rutgers was 47-77 under Hill, including a 13-57 record in the Big East.
Rice signed a one-year contract extension with Robert Morris last month. The Colonials were 73-31 in three seasons under Rice and won the last two Northeast Conference championships.
Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti was unavailable for comment.
