Hogan was an important part of the Clemson men's basketball program from 1984-89. He served as an assistant coach in his first three years at the Atlantic Coast Conference university. Over his last two years, Hogan added the responsibilities of an assistant to the athletic director in addition to his duties as a coach. During his tenure, the Tigers received a post season bid each season, earning two trips to the NCAA Tournament and three NIT berths. Hogan served as the Tigers chief scout and recruiting coordinator, and was responsible for monitoring the academic progress of the team. He also coached future NBA players Elden Campbell, Dale Davis, and twin brothers Horace and Harvey Grant.

Hogan received the University of South Alabama Most Scholastic Award for men's basketball in 1980.
