Randie Torgalski has completed his first season as an assistant men’s basketball coach at New York University. His responsibilities with the team include assisting head coach Joe Nesci in all facets of the program.
In 2004-05, Torgalski helped lead the Violets to a 16-10 overall record, a 6-8 mark in the University Athletic Association, and to a berth in the ECAC Division III Metro Championship Tournament.
Prior to joining the NYU staff, Torgalski served as an assistant coach at Hamilton College from 1999-2004. During that span, he helped lead the Continentals to an overall 95-39 record, including three UCAA (Upstate Collegiate Athletic Conference) Championships and three NCAA Tournament appearances. During his tenure at Hamilton, the coaching staff earned UCAA Coaching Staff of the Year honors three times.
A 1999 graduate of the University of Rochester, Torgalski was a four-year starter at point guard for the Yellowjackets. An Honorable Mention All-UAA selection and team captain as a senior, he helped lead Rochester to an overall 57-46 record, as well as to two NCAA Tournaments and one ECAC Tournament. Torgalski, who graduated with a degree in psychology, finished second in assists (519) and 10th in three-pointers (80) on Rochester’s all-time career lists.
“We are pleased that Randie agreed to join our coaching staff last year,” Nesci said. “His years as an assistant at Hamilton College as a top-notch practice coach and hard-working recruiter has certainly been a valuable addition to our program.”
While at Hamilton, Torgalski also served as head junior varsity basketball coach during the 2000-01 season. He assisted with Hamilton’s men’s and women’s tennis teams from 1999-2001, and served as an assistant baseball coach in 2001.
