This is the third straight year the Oswego coaching staff has been honored as the SUNYAC Men's Basketball Coaching Staff of the Year. Head coach, Jason Leone and assistant coaches Brendan Fitzpatrick, Jake Pritchard and Bill Farden led their team to the No. 1 seed after regular season conference play. The team lost to New Paltz, 85-80, in the championship game, but earned an at-large bid into the NCAA tournament.
