Camp Director Anthony Latina
Having just concluded his 11th season at the helm of the Sacred Heart University men’s basketball program in 2023-24, Anthony Latina has engineered a strong resurgence of the Pioneers’ program during his tenure. Sacred Heart enters a new era in its first year in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) in 2024-25.
View Anthony's Bio ⟩Latina and the Pioneers made 10 Northeast Conference Tournament appearances, including back-to-back top-four finishes in the last two seasons and six straight appearances from 2019-24.
Latina’s strong ability to recruit talented student-athletes and focus on player development annually had Sacred Heart amongst the leaders in the NEC’s postseason awards. During his time as head coach, Latina has produced the program's first Defensive Player of the Year (Jare’l Spellman) and Player of the Year (Cane Broome), along with a pair of Most Improved Players (Tyler Thomas and E.J. Anosike). In addition to the major award winners, 16 athletes were named to All-NEC teams, and SHU has had six players named to the NEC All-Rookie team during Latina’s tenure.
The 2019-20 season saw Sacred Heart have its best campaign at the Division I level as the Pioneers won 20 games and advanced to the semifinals of the NEC Tournament. 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 DI era. The team also won its first postseason game since 2009, earning a 61-59 win over Mount Saint Mary’s.
During the 2015-16 campaign, Latina led the Pioneers to a second-place finish in the NEC and coached the NEC Player of the Year, Broome. Broome is the only player in program history to win the conference’s Player of the Year honor and the second sophomore in league history to win the award. Broome led the NEC and ranked 10th nationally in scoring during the season.
Latina took over the reins of the Sacred Heart program after spending eight seasons as an assistant under the legendary 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. At CCSU, he helped guide the Blue Devils to two NCAA Tournament appearances and three trips to the NEC 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.
Before joining Central Connecticut's staff, Latina worked for four years as an assistant coach at Division II UMass-Lowell.
Latina was a four-year starter and two-year captain as a point guard at Brandeis University. He was part of the 1991-92 squad that won the ECAC Championship. An honor student in the classroom, Latina also received the Athletic Director's Award and Stein Attitude and Dedication to Basketball Award at Brandeis. He earned his undergraduate degree in history and American Studies from Brandeis and his Master's in Education from UMass-Lowell.
The Connecticut native was a captain of the 1990-91 Connecticut State Championship team at South Catholic High School under legendary coach Joe Reilly.
Latina and his wife, Jodi, and children, Luke and Zoe reside in Wethersfield, Conn. -
Assistant Coach Kyle Steinway
Kyle Steinway just completed his 11th season with the Sacred Heart University men’s basketball staff in 2023-24. After spending 10 seasons as an assistant coach, Steinway was promoted to Associate Head Coach ahead of the 2023-24 season.
View Kyle's Bio ⟩Steinway has been a part of the program with 10 Northeast Conference Tournament appearances, including back-to-back top-four finishes in the last two seasons and six straight appearances from 2019-2024. He has coached the program's first Defensive Player of the Year (Jare’l Spellman) and Player of the Year (Cane Broome), along with a pair of Most Improved Players (Tyler Thomas and E.J. Anosike). In addition to the major award winners, Steinway has coached 16 All-NEC players and six NEC all-rookie honorees.
Steinway has played a big role in the recent resurgence of the program over the last several years. The Sacred Heart had their best season at the NCAA Division I level in 2019-20. The Pioneers won 20 games and advanced to the semifinals of the NEC Tournament. 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.
During the 2015-16 season, Steinway helped develop 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.
Before 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 earned 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 College and Newberry College.
He currently resides in Milford, Conn., with his wife, Kristen, son, KJ, and daughter Kenzie.

Positive experience!
June 27, 2021: My son got in the car after the last day of camp and the first thing he said was “I’m going back next year”. Such a positive experience. The staff is knowledgeable and showed the boys how to improve their skills. The coaches were approachable and had lots of good information both for the boys and parents. Having lunch included and not having to pack a lunch every day was a plus!

I have been offered a full scholarship because of this camp.
This was the last summer that I was eligible to attend a Nike camp and I chose to come back to the Sacred Heart Basketball camp because I had learned so much from them the previous 2 times that I had been there. I have been offered a full scholarship to continue my basketball career in college and I believe that the Sacred Heart staff helped me to develop into the post player that I am today and helped me to reach a level to be able to play in college.

A well organized, worthwhile basketball camp!
This camp was SO WELL ORGANIZED and had a lot less attendees than other camps. My son received personalized instruction and a written review of his skills. Drop-off and pick-up were a snap. There was absolutely no confusion. The Sacred Heart University facilities were super-clean and well maintained. My son wishes to return next year. He also felt that he had learned something! This was not the case at other camps!! Kudos to Coach Anthony Latina for running a well organized, worthwhile basketball camp!

My son was in awe of the players who were the camp counselors.
My son was in awe of the players who were the camp counselors. They were great with the boys. He loved the nickname Iggy that his coach, Cane, gave him. He came away from camp feeling confident and really good about his playing, but he also came away knowing what he needs to work on. I love that he has a goal. We also loved getting a written evaluation. This camp is money well spent, and we will definitely make room in the budget for it next year! Thank you so much to everyone, but especially to Cane. He was encouraging and taught my son so much about the game. Impressive!
