连续两个赛季的季后赛冠军|两个20胜的赛季| 100%毕业率
Steve Masiello is in his 11th year as the Head Coach of the Manhattan Men's Basketball program.
During Masiello's tenure with Manhattan, he has experienced unprecedented success while leading the Jaspers to back-to-back MAAC Championships and subsequent trips to the NCAA Tournament, and is the longest tentured coach in the conference.
He is one of just nine Division 1 Head Coaches to have won a National Championship as a player, and entering last season was one of just seven coaches 43 or younger with two conference titles and two trips to the NCAA Tournament.
This past season, he helped mentor All-MAAC Third Team selections and rising seniors Ant Nelson and Warren Williams.
Nelson, who joined the program as a transfer from Seton Hall, was one of the top playmakers in the MAAC and ranked among the league leaders in scoring (13.4 ppg), assists (3.1 apg) and steals (1.2 spg) while hitting for at least 20 points on three occasions while collecting pair of double-doubles.
Williams, meanwhile, continued to blossom in the post and developed into one of the top dual-threats in the MAAC. He averaged 11.5 ppg, 7.3 rpg and 1.6 bpg while posting five double-doubles in just 20 games.
Additionally, Masiello, who also served as an assistant with the program from 2001-05, has been a member of the school's last four league titles, has a school-record 11 MAAC Tournament wins and an impressive .579 winning percentage during tournament play.
While navigating Covid-19 in 2020-21, he also moved past legendary Manhattan student-athlete, coach and administrator Jack Powers into third place in program's all-time wins list and enters 2021-22 with 147 career victories. Additionally, his 72 wins in Draddy Gymnasium are the most in school history
Also under his guidance, Masiello has overseen the development of 15 All-MAAC performers, seven MAAC Major Award winners, 15 MAAC All-Academic performers, seven 1,000-point scorers and four MAAC All-Rookie honorees at the school with two Metropolitan Coach of the Year Awards.
Four years ago, the Jaspers became first-ever team to win a game in Europe under Masiello's watch as Manhattan defeated Holy Cross 70-54 in the first game of the inaugural Belfast Classic.
Pauly Paulicap became the just the second player in school history to win MAAC Defensive Player of the Year honors, joining 3x winner Rhamel Brown.
Rich Williams was named to the All-MAAC Second Team while Zane Waterman earned All-MAAC Third Team recognition for the second-straight season.
Williams averaged 14.6 ppg and 4.8 rpg while Waterman garnered 11.9 ppg and 6.6 rpg en route to becoming just the 14th player in school history to earn at least two All-MAAC accolades.
Each player also participated in the inaugural 3x3 National Championship.
During the regular season, Manhattan defeated Ivy League Champion Harvard, participated in the Gulf Coast Showcase in Florida and posted a thrilling double-overtime Senior Day win over Quinnipiac.
Masiello became just the fifth coach in school history to win 100 games in the Jaspers' thrilling 70-69 win over Niagara on January 27, 2017.
Under his guidance in 2016-17, Waterman developed into one of the top players in the league and earned All-MAAC Third Team honors, averaging 14.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game.
Masiello, who has also led Manhattan to three-straight MAAC Title game appearances and two 20-win campaigns, broke ESPN analyst and Jasper Hall of Fame selection Fran Fraschilla's school record for career MAAC Tournament wins in Manhattan's 79-69 victory over Iona in the 2015 Championship Game.

For his efforts, Masiello earned the prestigious 2014 Metropolitan Coach of the Year, awarded by the Met Basketball Writers Association.
In the landmark campaign, Brown earned his third-straight MAAC Defensive Player of the Year selection while George Beamon '14 collected his second First Team All-MAAC honor with Brown landing on the Third Team.
Long-time ESPN college basketball commentator Dick Vitale has even noted, "Remember this name, Steve Masiello. A young, rising coach doing a great job at Manhattan."
Despite a number of key early-season injuries in 2012-13, the Jaspers rallied to win eight of their last 11 games down the stretch. Manhattan reached the MAAC Championship game for the first time in nine years, coming up just three points short of reaching the NCAA Tournament in a miraculous run.
After the season, Brown was voted Second Team All-MAAC, Second Team All-Metropolitan and the MAAC Defensive Player of the Year. The accolades continued for the Jaspers as Richards earned MAAC Co-Rookie of the Year honors and was joined by Richards on the All-Rookie Team.
In his first season at Manhattan, the Jaspers enjoyed the biggest turnaround in the nation, posting 21 victories in 2011-12, a NCAA-best 15-win improvement from the previous season. It went down as the largest turnaround in program history while the 21 wins were the second most wins by a Manhattan first-year head coach, trailing only Fraschilla's 23 set in 1992-93.
As a result of the Jaspers' marked improvement, Masiello shared Metropolitan Co-Coach of the Year honors with Dan Hurley while leading the Jaspers to their first postseason appearance since 2006. Manhattan advanced to the Second Round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT) while registering three All-MAAC selections, including First Team honoree and league scoring champion Beamon.
The Jaspers have also excelled in the classroom under Masiello as his players sport a perfect 100 percent graduation rate. Three players earned both MAAC All-Academic distinction and the prestigious Honors Court recognition by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) in 2012. It marked the most student-athlete honorees on both award lists out of the then 10 MAAC institutions.
Masiello was named Manhattan's 23rd head coach in program history on April 11, 2011. He returned to his native New York after spending six years in the Big East as an assistant at Louisville under Rick Pitino.
Over his six-year tenure with the Cardinals, Masiello helped lead Louisville to a 148-61 (.708) overall record, six straight 20-win seasons and four NCAA Tournament appearances. The Cardinals advanced to the Elite Eight twice (2008 & 2009) during that time while Masiello played a vital role in building Louisville's 2009 Big East Championship team, which won 31 games, including a program record 16 in conference, and entered the NCAA Tournament as the No. 1 overall seed.
One of the nation's most renowned recruiters, Masiello effectively directed the Cardinals' recruiting efforts by signing four Top-20 recruiting classes, which included four McDonald's All-Americans over his time in Louisville.
The program's 2008 recruiting class garnered a No. 4 national ranking, featuring 2008 USA Today High School National Player of the Year and future NBA player Samardo Samuels.
Masiello was named one of the nation's Top 25 collegiate assistant coaches according to FoxSports.com (2010) & Rivals.com (2007). He managed Louisville's game preparation and scouting responsibilities for his last three years with the program as the Cardinals amassed a 76-29 (.724) overall record, including a 39-15 (.722) mark in the Big East during this stretch.
Masiello is back in Riverdale for his second coaching tenure at Manhattan. He previously helped lead the Jaspers to three postseason appearances in four years (2001-2005) as an assistant, which included two MAAC Championships and subsequent trips to the NCAA Tournament (2003 & 2004) and one to the NIT (2002). Under his tutelage, Manhattan posted an 83-36 (.697) overall record with Masiello serving a key contributor to the Jaspers' coaching staff.
During that time Masiello also helped Manhattan to arguably one of the finest wins in program history when the Jaspers defeated Florida in the First Round of the 2004 NCAA Tournament. In terms of player development, Masiello helped Luis Flores '04 blossom into a NBA Player.
Prior to Manhattan, Masiello served as the administrative assistant at Tulane under head coach Shawn Finney for one year (2000-01).
A four-year member of the Wildcats' basketball team, Masiello, played under head coaches Pitino (1996-97) and Tubby Smith (1997-2000). During his playing career, Kentucky went to the Final Four twice (1997 & 1998), advancing to the National Championship game both times and winning the title in 1998. Masiello was named the Wildcats' co-captain his senior year.
Masiello hails from White Plains, NY, and attended Archbishop Stepinac High School. He completed his final two years at the Harvey School in Katonah, NY, where he helped the basketball program win the New England Prep School Athletic Association Championship.
