Coach Thompson is a terrific coach and an even better person. I spoke at his coaches forum several years ago and had a great time. The year I spoke it was a Five Star reunion with Dave Odom and Pete Gillen the other speakers. Great event!
Congratulations to Coach Leone on being named to the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2027. A well-deserved honor for a coach who has built a championship culture and family within the Oswego program.

I can confirm the new Head MBB Coach at Geneva College is @GCPioneerHoops Assistant @DJDamazo.
DJ is a Geneva grad, and started 2 years for the Golden Tornadoes.
Geneva is believed to be the first college with a basketball team. The school adopted the sport in 1892, just weeks after its invention by Dr. James Naismith at Springfield College.
Best of luck to DJ, who is truly one of the great people in #d3hoops.

Congratulations to Coach Merrill on earning NEPSAC Class A Coach of the Year! 2026 was a historic season, which included making the Class A postseason for the first time in school history, winning a home quarterfinal game, and advancing to the semifinals. #GoBigGreen
