Camp Coaches

  • Geno Ford

    Geno Ford

    Camp Director

    During the 2021-22 campaign, Ford was instrumental in developing one of the most dangerous backcourts in the region, with a pair of all-conference guards in Tykei Greene and Anthony Roberts leading the way. Greene was inside the top 100 nationally in numerous rebounding categories, while Roberts scored the program's first 40-point game since 2015-16

    The squad was also one of the most protective in Stony Brook's Division I history, finishing with the second-lowest turnover rate since 2000. It also was the fourth-most efficient offense since 2000 and the best mark since the 2015-16 campaign. His squad finished inside the Top 25 nationally in fewest fouls and fewest turnovers, as well as the top 50 nationally in turnovers per game.

    Ford guided one of the nation's most intimidating defenses in 2020-21, finishing 16th nationally in blocks per game and 36th in the country in field-goal percentage defense.

    In his first season at the helm of Stony Brook in 2019-20, Ford led Stony Brook to its seventh 20-win season in nine years, finishing with a 20-13 record and a berth in the America East semifinals.

    They continued a decade of excellence in which they finished inside the top two in nine of the last 10 seasons, something that hasn't been done by any other America East team. He also helped lead three all-conference selections, including first-teamer Elijah Olaniyi and second-team selection Andrew Garcia to success this season.

    His offense also broke records from beyond the arc this season, making a total of 274 3-pointers this year, a new team record. Makale Foreman also set a new mark individually, draining 104 shots from outside.

    The Cambridge, Ohio native became the head man after three years as the Associate Head Coach under Boals, helping lead Stony Brook's offense to one of its most prolific outputs in Division I history with 71.6 points per game. That number was only bettered by the 2015-16 conference championship team.

    Under Ford's associate head coach tenure, Stony Brook finished inside the top two in the standings in two of his three seasons with two America East semifinal berths also during that time.

    He also brings a wealth of head coaching experience with two stops coming before this. He took over at Kent State in 2008, helping lead the Golden Flashes to a 68-37 record in his three years just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. This included a 35-13 mark in the Mid-American Conference and a pair of MAC regular-season championships, becoming the first MAC coach in 48 years to win back to back regular-season crowns.

    He parlayed that into a job in the Missouri Valley Conference with Bradley, guiding the program to the nation's seventh-best turnaround in his second season, leading the team from a 7-25 mark to 18-17 the following year. He also coached the second MVC player ever to record 500 points, 100 rebounds, 100 assists and 70 steals in a season in Walt Lemon, Jr.

    The Ohio University graduate sits sixth in school history with 1,752 career points after averaging 18.9 and 18.7 per night in his junior and senior seasons, respectively. He was also First-Team All-MAC and Academic All-Conference selection as a senior in 1997.

    Assistant Coach

    Before then, he was the recruiting coordinator under Ford at Bradley University, helping the Braves to one of the nation's best turnarounds in the 2012-13 season, winning 11 more games than the previous season in Illinois. He also helped Ford secure a star-filled recruiting class in 2013-14 that included a Top 100 high school recruit, a junior college All-American and a pair of NJCAA All-Region first-team selections.

    He was also part of Ford's first staff at Kent State that was responsible in aiding the Golden Flashes to back to back Mid-American Conference regular-season titles and NIT bids in the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
