Rutgers assistant Jay Young hired as head coach at Fairfield

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Jay Young joked that among the exciting aspects of the head coaching job at Fairfield, he's now two hours closer to Fenway Park and his beloved Boston Red Sox.

The Massachusetts native, who was Steve Pikiell's top assistant at Rutgers the past three seasons, was hired Wednesday for his first Division I head coaching job.

He replaces Sydney Johnson, who was fired from Fairfield last month after a 9-22 season and a 116-147 record over eight seasons.
