Nike Boys Basketball Camp Trinity College

Trinity was 23-7, hosted the first two rounds of the NCAA Tourney, and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the third time in program history in 2014-15. The Bantams are 24-6 against NESCAC opponents over the last three years, and ended 2015 ranked No. 17 nationally in the D3Hoops.com poll.  Cosgrove led Trinity to records 15-11 in 2013-14 and 14-12 in 2010-11 with NESCAC Semifinal appearances in both of those seasons.   

Trinity's historic run to the 2014-15 NCAA Elite Eight included NCAA wins over Colby-Sawyer (58-55), Salisbury (60-47), and Bates (79-62), and the Bantams came an overtime road loss against Babson (76-69) shy of reaching the program's second NCAA Final Four.  Trinity won nine of ten conference games during the regular season, including six on the road, and hosted the NESCAC Final Four after a 66-63 victory against Colby in the quarterfinals of the league tournament.  The Bantams repeated the feat last winter, defeating every NESCAC team in the regular season except NCAA Final Four-bound Amherst, and hosted the NESCAC Final Four again following a 71-60 triumph over Colby in the quarterfinals.  Trinity lost to eventual champion Middlebury in the NESCAC Semifinals, and received an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, but dropped a 75-73 decision against Johnson and Wales in the opening round.  Cosgrove was honored as the 2014-15 NESCAC Coach of the Year and the 2015-16 Trinity Athletic Department Coach of the Year.

Cosgrove-coached teams are well-known for the defensive intensity and the 16-squad was no different, finishing 16th nationally in scoring defense at 65.3 ppg.  The Bantams were sixth in the nation in field goal-goal percentage defense (.386) in 2015-16, finished No. 2 nationally in field-goal percentage defense (.368) and third in three-point field-goal percentage defense (.277) in 2014-15, and was ranked second nationally in rebounding margin (+9.7 per game) in 2013-14. Cosgrove is 106-77 in six seasons at Trinity, and has a 345-213 record in 20 seasons as a coach for a .618 winning percentage.

Prior to Trinity, Cosgrove posted a 166-77 record at Division II Adelphi University over eight seasons, and also served as head coach at Endicott College.  Cosgrove’s teams posted a winning record and reached the post-season in each of his eight seasons at Adelphi.  The Panthers won 20 or more games six times, won three league titles, and earned four NCAA Tournament bids in a five-year span.  In 2009-10, Adelphi earned a 22-10 mark played in the Northeast-10 tournament finals.  His 2008-09 Adelphi squad led NCAA Division II in field goal percentage defense (37.6) and was fourth nationally in scoring defense (58.9 ppg).  Cosgrove was named as the East Coast Conference (ECC) Coach of the Year in 2004-05 and as the Metropolitan Writers Association Division II Coach of the Year in both 2004-05 and 2005-06.  At Endicott, Cosgrove accumulated a 73-60 record including an 18-10 record in 1999-00, the program’s first Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Championship title, and its first bid to the NCAA Tournament.  His 1998-99 Endicott team won the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) regular-season crown and earned Cosgrove GNAC Coach of the Year honors.  

Cosgrove also served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, St. Anselm College, from 1993-97, helping the Hawks to an 89-29 record, three straight NCAA Tournament appearances, and a pair of conference championships.  Also owning coaching experience at St. Thomas More Prep School in Connecticut and at the University of Hartford, Cosgrove graduated from St. Anselm in 1987 with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and owns a master’s degree in teaching from Sacred Heart University.  He was a two-time All-Northeast 10 selection and the Northeast-10 Rookie of the Year in 1984. Serving as team captain from 1985-87, Cosgrove led St. Anselm to a 25-5 record and a No. 6 national ranking in the Division II Final Poll in 1987. He held the school's all-time record in assists and steals and was inducted into the St. Anselm College Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993.  In 2007, Cosgrove was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame for his accomplishments as a player at St. Thomas Prep School and St. Anselm College.
