Steve Hahn (1986-2013) – Coach (Basketball)
 
Hahn spent 27 years as an assistant coach for the Golden Bear basketball teams – 10 with the men's program and 17 with the women's program.
 
He was first hired in 1986 with the men's program under head coach Rick Binder. Hahn became the first full-time assistant coach in the athletic department in 1987, and went on to spend the next nine seasons as the men's assistant. He spent one season as the assistant for both the men's and women's programs in 1987-88, as well as the men's lacrosse team, before moving over to the women's program in 1995.
 
While the men's assistant coach from 1986-95, the Golden Bears advanced to the PSAC finals and earned the school's first-ever invitation to the NCAA Division II Tournament.
 
Hahn remained the women's assistant coach for 17 seasons from 1995-2012. He helped lead Kutztown back to the postseason for the first time in five years, including the program's first and only NCAA Tournament appearance. The Golden Bears went on to post seven-straight winning seasons and qualified for the PSAC Tournament in 14-of-17 seasons with Hahn as an assistant.
 
Hahn closed his coaching career as an assistant to men's head coach Bernie Driscoll for the 2012-13 campaign.
 
During his tenure, Hahn guided eight KU Hall of Famers – five women and three men – and the first All-American for the men's program. His players broke and still hold school-records today.
  
Off the court, Hahn has been an active contributor to the athletic and campus community. Beginning in the early 2000's, Hahn served as the color commentator on KU's football and men's basketball broadcasts – a position he volunteered in for more than 10 years. He has also been a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) for more than 35 years.
 
In 2002, he helped negotiate the first collective bargaining agreement between the State System and the PSAC coaches. Continuing to give back to the department, Hahn established an endowed scholarship for women's basketball in 2002.
 
After coaching, Hahn remained active in the department as the Assistant to the Athletic Director for Student Development & Compliance. He also served on the committee that selected KU's All-Time Football Team in 2015 as part of the university's 100th Season of Football.
 
Prior to KU, Hahn served as head coach of boys' basketball at Reading High School and posted a 43-15 record. Hahn owns a bachelor's degree from Albright and a master's degree from Temple.
