Chris McHugh, a former assistant coach with the Mount Saint Mary College men’s basketball program, has been named as the assistant men’s basketball coach at Connecticut College.

Under the direction of Head Coach Ryan Kadlubowski at Mount Saint Mary’s, McHugh helped the Knights to a record of 42-16 in his two seasons as assistant coach.

At Mount Saint Mary’s, McHugh assisted with recruiting, on-court coaching and player development.
