Camp Director Anthony Latina

Having just concluded his ninth season at the helm of the Sacred Heart University men’s basketball program in 2021-22, Anthony Latina has engineered a strong resurgence of the Pioneers program during his tenure. Latina and the Pioneers are in the midst of a three year stretch in which they have finished in the top three in the Northeast Conference each year, have earned berth’s to three straight NEC Tournament Championships, and have won more regular season NEC conference games than any other team.

In 2020-2021, despite having one of the nation’s youngest teams, and being picked to finish 10^th in the NEC Preseason Poll, the Pioneers well exceeded expectations and finished in 3^rd place. The squad finished with a winning record in conference play for the third consecutive season. Player development, a staple under Coach Latina, was once again recognized as Pioneer sophomore Tyler Thomas was named the 2021 NEC Most Improved Player.

The 2019-20 season saw Sacred Heart have their best season at the NCAA Division I level as the Pioneers won 20 games and advanced to the semifinals of the NEC Championship. The 2019-20 squad was the first Pioneer team to reach 20 wins since the 1988-89 season and was the first team to reach that mark in the Division I era. The team also won their first postseason game since 2009, earning a 61-59 win over Mount Saint Mary’s at the NEC Championships.

Latina’s strong ability to recruit talented student-athletes and focus on player development annually has Sacred Heart amongst the leaders in the Northeast Conference’s post season awards. In Latina’s eight seasons as Sacred Heart’s Head Coach, he has had nine student athletes receive all-conference honors and had six freshman be named to the conference’s all-rookie team. The Pioneers have also garnered two NEC Most Improved Player Awards, and one NEC Defensive Player of the Year Award.

During the 2015-16 season, Latina led the Pioneers to a second-place finish in the Northeast Conference, and coached the NEC Player of the Year Cane Broome. Broome is the only player in program history to win the conference’s player of the year honors and just the second sophomore in league history to win the award. Broome led the NEC and ranked 10th nationally in scoring during the 2015-16 campaign.

Latina took over the reins of the Sacred Heart program after spending eight seasons as an assistant coach under the legendary Coach Dave Bike. He joined Bike's staff in 2005-06 after spending the previous six seasons as an assistant coach at Central Connecticut State University. During his time at CCSU, he helped guide the Blue Devils to two NCAA Tournament appearances, and three trips to the Northeast Conference title game. He was part of the staff that helped produce the first-ever NBA draft pick from CCSU, Corsley Edwards, who was taken in the second round by the Sacramento Kings in 2002.
Assistant Coach Kyle Steinway

Kyle Steinway just completed his ninth season as an assistant coach on the Sacred Heart University men’s basketball staff in 2021-22. This season he helped lead the Pioneers to a third-place finish in the Northeast Conference, once again qualifying for the NEC Championship.
View Kyle's Bio ⟩

During the 2020-21 season, Steinway has been part of a Sacred Heart staff that currently holds the longest active streak of consecutive NEC Championship appearances. The Pioneers had a strong season, finishing third in the standings after being picked 10th, and did this with one of the nation’s youngest teams as, ranking as the 314^th youngest squad.

The 2019-20 season saw Sacred Heart have their best season at the NCAA Division I level as the Pioneers won 20 games and advanced to the semifinals of the NEC Championship. The 2019-20 squad was the first Pioneer team to reach 20 wins since the 1988-89 season and was the first team to reach that mark in the Division I era. The team also won their first postseason game since 2009, earning a 61-59 win over Mount Saint Mary’s at the NEC Championship.

Steinway has been an integral part of Sacred Heart’s recent three-year stretch in which they have finished in the top three in the NEC standings all three season and have more NEC regular season wins than any other program. In that same stretch, the Pioneers have dominated the annual conference awards, earning five all-conference selections, three all-rookie selections, two NEC Most Improved Player Awards, and one NEC Defensive Player of the Year Award.

During the 2015-16 season, Steinway helped develop the NEC Player of the Year Cane Broome. Broome is the only player in program history to win the conference’s player of the year honors and just the second sophomore in league history to win the award. Broome led the NEC and ranked 10th nationally in scoring during the 2015-16 campaign.

Prior to his time at Sacred Heart, Steinway spent three seasons at Hofstra University as the director of basketball operations. During Steinway’s first season at Hofstra, the team went 21-12 and earned a berth in the 2011 College Basketball Invitational. At Hofstra, Steinway aided in the development of 2011 CAA Player of the Year Charles Jenkins. Jenkins would go on to be drafted in the second round of the NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors.

A 2003 graduate of Providence College with a degree in economics, Steinway started his career as a student manager for Head Coach Tim Welsh. He would go on to earn his master’s degree from Providence in 2007, serving as a graduate assistant coach from 2005-07. During Steinway’s time with the Friars, the program earned one NCAA tournament berth and two National Invitation Tournament selections.

Steinway has also spent time as an assistant coach at Stonehill (MA) College and Newberry (SC) College.

He currently resides in Milford, Connecticut, with his wife, Kristen, and his son, Kyle Jr.

Campers will utilize SHU's Pitt Center for all basketball instruction. *If needed, campers may also utilize the Notre Dame Catholic High School gym, conveniently located next to SHU. The Pitt Center and Notre Dame Catholic High School gyms are both air-conditioned.

The $17.5 million Pitt Center, which opened in August 1997, serves as the home court for both men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball programs, as well as our fencing and wrestling programs. The three-level, 141,000 square-foot complex features a four-court layout and seats over 2,000 people for basketball.

The lower level of the Pitt Center received a major facelift in the summer of 2007. The 5,000-plus square-foot weight room now reflects a top level Division I weight room with the addition of state of the art weight training equipment, new Mondo rubberized flooring, lighting and a paint job that truly reflects the spirit of Pioneer Athletics. Other changes made were office renovations for men’s & women’s basketball and football, added locker room space and a total refurbishing of the aerobics room wood floor. The lower level also houses locker rooms for our athletic teams and members, the Pioneer Wrestling Room, Equipment Room and Athletic Training offices. The main level of the center houses the Athletic Communications suite and a four-court field house with indoor track and retractable batting cage. A floating wood floor is used for basketball and volleyball competitions. 4,500 square feet of clinical space is dedicated to the Sacred Heart University Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Center. Contained in this space are examination rooms, faculty offices, and therapy labs, as well as a physical therapy clinic.
