At a recent Suffolk County Boys Basketball Coaches Association meeting, Sachem’s long recent history of alumni and connections across the county was evident.
From head coaches to assistant coaches and former players, the growing coaching tree of Sachem influence across the county is unique.
The photo on this post speaks volumes and includes:
-Coach Tom Mullee (Sachem North)
-Coach Ryan McNeely (Mt. Sinai)
-Coach John Finta (Sachem East)
-Coach Alex Piccirillo (Ward Melville)
-Coach Kevin Culhane (Shoreham-Wading River)
-Coach Matt Candemeres (Central Islip)
-Coach Will Slinkosky (William Floyd)
-Coach John Ford (Longwood)
While Finta and Mullee did not graduate from Sachem, they are the boys varsity coaches at Sachem East and Sachem North, respectively. All others are Sachem alums and coaching in various districts across the county.
Good luck to every coach about to embark on the Suffolk County playoffs. They’re all representing Sachem one way or another!
