Steve Hahn

  • Title
    Assistant to the Director of Athletics for Student Development & Compliance
Steve 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 remains active in the department following his coaching career, currently serving as Assistant to the Athletic Director for Student Development & Compliance.
 
Hahn was hired in 1986 with the men's program under head coach Rick Binder. Hahn spent nine seasons as the men's assistant before he moved over to the women's program in 1995. He remained the women's assistant coach for 17 seasons from 1995-2012. Hahn closed his coaching career as an assistant to men's head coach Bernie Driscoll for the 2012-13 campaign.
 
During his tenure, Hahn has 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.
 
While the men's assistant coach (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 joined the women's program in 1995 – head coach Janet Malouf's second season at KU – and 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.
 
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.
 
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 the head boys' basketball coach at Reading High School, posting a 43-15 record. Hahn owns a bachelor's degree from Albright and a master's degree from Temple.
