Yeshiva University’s Dr. Jonathan Halpert became just the seventh men’s basketball coach in New York City history to record his 400th career victory on Thursday night, December 6 at the Max Stern Athletic Center—on the same court dedicated less than one year ago in his honor. The YU Maccabees defeated visiting Skyline Conference opponent Maritime (N.Y.) College 72-50, notching their second win of the early season.
With 400 wins, Halpert joins a select group of New York City men’s college basketball coaches who have reached this milestone: Lou Carnesecca, St. John’s (526 victories); Howard Cann, New York University (429); Joe Nesci, New York University (424); Nat Holman, City College of New York (423); Ray Rankis, Baruch (419); and Claire Bee, Rider/LIU Brooklyn (412).
