The Farmingdale State College athletics department is proud to announce the promotions of Assistant Men’s and Women’s Tennis Coach Rich Hume and Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach Steve Raisfeld to Associate Head Coaches.

Coach Steve Raisfeld, a 2017 Under Armour 30-under-30 honoree, is entering his sixth season at Farmingdale State College with an overall record of 86-50, including 69-23 in Skyline Conference play. Since Raisfeld joined FSC five seasons ago, the Rams have clinched consecutive Skyline Tournament appearances (2019 & 2020) and won three regular season titles (2017, 2018 & 2019). FSC won the Skyline Conference Championship in both 2017 and 2019 and earned berths into the NCAA Tournament.

Raisfeld, who has extensive recruiting ties in the Metropolitan New York area, oversees the recruiting for the men’s basketball program as well as scouting opponents, monitoring academic progress of the student-athletes and other day-to-day aspects to help maintain a successful program. Raisfeld also oversees the Farmingdale State men’s basketball’s community outreach programs, including its running of the annual “CYO Day” Clinic for about 100 youth kids before a home game.

Prior to joining FSC, he was at Fordham University as Director of Video Operations from 2011-2015. His duties included travel arrangements, academics, housing, scheduling, facilities, player development and community relations and serving as the director of the Tom Pecora Basketball Camps. Raisfeld was involved in game and practice preparation, player development, preparing scouting reports and video editing.

Raisfeld worked as a graduate assistant/video coordinator at Hofstra University in 2010-11 before heading to Fordham University.
