Bobby Hain was named as an assistant coach for the men’s basketball program during the summer of 2025. Hain brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience to the Sailfish bench as the team looks to build on its momentum heading into the upcoming season.
PBA turned in a historic season in 2025-26. The Sailfish recorded a 26-6 overall record and 16-4 conference record. The season set a new record for wins in PBA's DII-era and conference wins since joining the SSC. The Sailfish finished second in the SSC and was ranked as high as No. 3 in the NABC top 25. Hain helped lead the 'Fish to their second NCAA Regional berth in program history. The regular season was highlighted by a win over No. 1-ranked Nova Southeastern on Dec. 13. Preston Le Gassick became the second Sailfish to earn first team all-SSC honors and the first to be named to the D2CCA all-region first team. Alvin Tumblin Jr. earned a spot on the all-SSC second team while Christian Kirkland earned a spot on the All-SSC defensive team. The squad boasted a 17-1 record at home in Rubin Arena. The Sailfish led the SSC in team defense, allowing 73.6 points per game and holding opponents to a league-low 41 percent from the field. The 'Fish boasted one of the most efficient offenses in the country, leading the SSC with a 49 percent team field goal percentage.
A former standout at Youngstown State University, Hain was one of the most productive forwards in program history. He finished his career ranked among the school’s all-time leaders in both scoring, field goal percentage, and rebounding.
Following his collegiate career, Hain played professionally overseas in Fribourg Switzerland for Villars Basket. Hain led Villars to their first semifinal berth and earned Euro Basket 2nd team All - Switzerland honors. His international experience adds a valuable layer of perspective to PBA’s coaching staff, particularly in developing post players and preparing student-athletes for the next level.
Prior to joining PBA, Hain served as an assistant coach last season at NAIA Warner University following a six-year stint as the Associate Head Coach and Assistant Coach at Lake Erie College. In his time at Lake Erie, he had a strong hand in the development of award-winning Storm athletes and helped the Storm set the first DII-era program record in wins during the 2018-19 season.
Hain is no stranger to the Palm Beach County area. He is a graduate of Jupiter High School where he averaged 19.8 points and 9.6 rebounds per game his senior season. He was a first-team all-conference and all-area selection.
