PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) -Former Robert Morris coach Mike Rice has been introduced as Rutgers new men’s basketball coach.
Athletic director Tim Pernetti made the announcement Thursday, saying Rice was given a five-year contract with an average salary of $650,000.
Rice led Robert Morris to two straight NCAA tournament appearances. Rutgers has not made the NCAA tournament since 1991.
Rice replaces Fred Hill, who resigned under pressure about two weeks ago following an off-the-court incident at a Scarlet Knights baseball game.
