Career
Born in Casablanca, Hachad grew up in Montreal, Quebec. His father also played basketball for Morocco's national team.[2] After being named high school's Mr. Quebec by a panel of sportswriters in the province, Hachad committed to play NCAA Division I basketball at Northwestern University.[3] Hachad was a four-year starter for the Wildcats and was named to the 2006 All-Big 10 Defensive Team following a senior year in which he led the Wildcats with 42 steals and 5 rebounds per game.[3] Hachad finished his Northwestern career third on the Wildcats' all-time steals list and 11th on the all-time games played list.[3]
After graduation, Hachad moved on to play with Sion Herens Basket of the Swiss Professional Basketball League. In twelve games with the team, Hachad averaged 19.3 PPG, 4.6 RPG, and 5.2 APG with the team.[4] Impressed with this performance, SPO Rouen Basket of the French League signed Hachad for the 2008-09 season. In 28 games with the team, Hachad averaged a solid 9.6 PPG to go along with 4.0 RPG and 1.4 SPG.[5]
Hachad played with the Morocco national basketball team at the 2009 FIBA Africa Championship. He averaged 13.2 PPG, 6.3 RPG, and 5.3 APG, although Morocco limped to a disappointing 12th place finish in the competition after losing four of five games following a 2-1 start.[6]
