During his head coaching and assistant coaching career, Hahn has coached and recruited 19 future NBA players and set various school records at Maryland with numerous NCAA Tournament appearances over his career.

Born in Mishawaka, Indiana, Hahn attended Penn High, then attended the University of Maryland. During his tenure at Maryland, Hahn was a three-year letterwinner on three of the greatest teams in Terrapins' history. As a freshman, in 1971, Hahn's Terps won the National Invitation Tournament. That season, he played as a key reserve off the bench. Hahn was team captain during his senior season and was part of the 1974-1975 squad that went 24–5. Hahn graduated from Maryland with a bachelor’s degree in distributive education and a minor in business administration in 1975.
Hahn began his coaching career at Morris Harvey College in 1975 as an assistant coach under Rick Meckfessel. In 1976, Hahn became an assistant coach at Davidson College.
After his season at Davidson, Hahn became an assistant coach at Rhode Island, where he helped the team to the NCAA Tournament in 1978, and the NIT in 1979.
