Episode 16 - Towson's Pat Skerry

10/21/22 • 47 min

Today we have one of my favorite conversations so far as we catch up with Towson Head Coach Pat Skerry. The native of Medford, Massachusetts is going into his 30th-year of coaching, and his 12th as the head coach of the Tigers. In his first year at Towson, Skerry and the Tigers went 1-31. Last year, they won 25 games and their first-ever CAA.

Each Friday, Jeff Bidwell talks with a current or former Division I college basketball coach about their professional path. There are no overnight success stories in college coaching. We'll talk about the sometimes decades-long journey from the moment they wanted to get into coaching up to that first news conference introducing them as a Division I head coach.
