Coach Coleman heads into his sixth season at WNMU after perhaps five of his best seasons at the helm of any of his 13 seasons as the man in charge.
After spending eight seasons at Drew University in New Jersey, Coleman was selected to resurrect a Mustang program that had been decimated by losses in the early 2000s. In 1996-97, Coleman earned Coach of the Year honors after leading his Drew University Rangers to a 19-9 record and their first ever ECAC Championship.
Coleman spent eight years as an assistant coach at the University of Pittsburgh where he handled much of the recruiting and scouting for the Panthers. While at Pitt, Coleman helped guide the team to five NCAA appearances as well as two Big East titles. Prior to his tenure at Pitt, Coleman served as an assistant coach at Canisius College, the University of Vermont, and George Mason University where he helped guide the Patriots to its first NIT appearance in school history.
Throughout his 24-years of coaching, Coleman has coached seven NBA players including former New York Knick Charles Smith and the Vancouver Grizzlies’ Eric Mobley.
As a player, the 1983 St. Lawrence University grad was a team captain and MVP as a senior. He was also a three-year All-Conference selection and led the Saints to two NCAA Division III Tournament appearances.
Coach Coleman received his Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology.
