The 2004-05 season marked Seth Peloso’s third as an assistant coach of the New York University men’s basketball team. Recruiting, scouting, maintaining a weight training/conditioning program, and on-floor coaching are among his many responsibilities with the team.
Last season, Peloso 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.
In 2003-04, the Violets went 21-7 overall and posted their first winning season in the UAA (8-6) since 1997-98. It marked the first time since the 1994-95 season that NYU had posted at least 20 wins.
“Seth has been a tireless recruiter and talent evaluator for our program the last three years,” said head coach Joe Nesci. “His hard work is paying off, as our young talent has been an important part of our success.”
Prior to his arrival at NYU, Peloso served as an assistant coach at Case Western Reserve University (2001-02) and at Stevens Institute of Technology (2000-01). He also served as the head strength and conditioning coach at Stevens.
A 1998 graduate of Plymouth State College with a degree in exercise science and fitness rehabilitation, Peloso served as a captain for the Panthers’ basketball team. He earned the team’s “Durand Award” for his leadership abilities as he guided Plymouth State to one NCAA Tournament bid and to two ECAC Tournament appearances.
Certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association and the American Red Cross, Peloso is pursuing a master’s degree in exercise science from Cleveland State University.
A native of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Peloso currently resides in Manhattan.
