Men's Basketball Coaches

This winter Enrico Mastroianni begins his first season as Centenary's Head Men's Basketball Coach.  Mastroianni comes to Hackettstown after spending the last four seasons as the Associate Head Coach at Misericordia University in Dallas, PA.  During his time with the Cougars, Mastroianni was also the Head JV Basketball Coach, the Academic Coordinator for the Men’s Basketball team, top recruiter and major contributor to all strategic game-day and practice planning. 

Mastroianni is a 1999 graduate of Penn State University where he completed his undergraduate degree in Marketing and International Business.  Most recently he completed his Master’s Degree in Education at Misericordia University.

Coach Mastroianni brings extensive basketball knowledge to Centenary beyond that which comes from his time at Misericordia.  He has attended and worked at several Division I, II and III basketball and coaching camps and has had an opportunity to work with some of the best coaches in the country and continuously expand on his philosophies.  

He feels the progrmam has some challenges ahead, but they are challenges the team will face head on and as one unit.  His plan is to improve the culture and attitude of the program, and to get to a place where the team can expect to be competitive and win.  He feels that success cannot be measured only by wins and losses, and wants his players to understand that they are preparing for the next step in life.  He wants them to understand that the classroom comes first and with success there, wins will follow.
