Colgate University Assistant Basketball Coach Dave Klatsky is going to
the NCAA Tournament again. This is his second March Madness coaching
outing, as he previously made the trip in 2019. The Raiders took
The Raiders posted a 14-1 record this season and gained entry into the
NCAA show by winning the Patriot League Tournament. They defeated Loyola
ousted Boston University (77-69) and Bucknell (105-75) in that order.
“Making it back to the NCAAs has been incredible,” exclaimed Klatsky.
“The focus and determination of our players in this topsy turvy year was
admirable. This team has been a joy to coach, and I couldn't be prouder of
what they were able to accomplish. There's nothing like the NCAA tournament,
and I'm ecstatic they are able to share in this experience together.”
Actually, Klatsky is somewhat of a veteran of the NCAA Tournament. In
his collegiate playing days, he made three appearances carrying University
of Pennsylvania colors. During his tenure at Penn, the Quakers also claimed
three Ivy League titles.
Klatsky led the Hornets to back to back state titles in 1998 and 1999.
His 27-point performance propelled Holmdel over Mendham in the 1999
He was selected to the Asbury Park Press All-Shore Conference
Team in 1999. On Jan. 27 of this year, he was featured in an Asbury
Park Press article titled “NJ boys basketball: Jersey Shore’s top 100
players all-time, ranked.”
It appears he has found his calling as a member of the Raider staff.
“Coaching at Colgate over the last 10 years has been an amazing experience,”
said Klatsky. “We took over a program that was a bottom 0
team in Division 1 and turned it into a perennial power, winning two
of the last three Patriot League championships. In addition to the oncourt
success, we have been fortunate to have high-quality individuals
as part of our program, and it has been especially rewarding helping
them grow off the court.”
Former Holmdel teammate Vincent “Vinnie” McKeever stated,
“My teammates and I all knew what a special kind of player he was
when we were on the court with him at Holmdel High School. He led
us to back to back Group 2 state championships. I wasn't surprised by
his success on the court at Penn, and I'm not surprised by his success
in coaching. Dave understands basketball in a way very few do, and I
am excited to see where his career takes him.”
Klatsky currently lives in Hamilton, New York with wife Abby and
sons Harrison, age 5, and Leo, age 3.
