I keep hearing the same four names when people talk about the job at DII Assumption College (MA). The names that are being mentioned are:

Paul Phillips – Head Coach Clark University. A 1976 graduate of Assumption. Is 200-148 in 13 seasons at Clark (in Worcester, MA – same town as Assumption). Also went 166-99 in 10 seasons at nearby Anna Maria College.

Sean Doherty – Assistant Coach Quinnipiac. A Worcester native and former assistant at Assumption and Holy Cross. Graduated from Worcester State (obvious emphasis on all of the local ties). Was the head coach at Salem State from 2003-2007 (91-20).

Drew Cooper – Assistant Coach Bellermine University. A 1999 Assumption grad, 2,000 point scorer, and member of the Assumption Hall of Fame.
