Trinity College Athletics is excited to announce the hiring of Peter King as new assistant Men’s Basketball coach for the 2024-25 season, announced by Trinity College Director of Athletics Drew Galbraith.
King joins the Bantams coaching staff after serving as assistant coach at Springfield College during the 2023-24 season. A defensive-minded coach, King helped orchestrate a Pride defense that led the New England Men’s and Women’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) in opponent field goal percentage and opponent three-point field goal percentage, holding foes to 39% from the floor and 29.1% from beyond the arc.
“We are very pleased to welcome Pete King to the Bantam family as our new assistant coach,” said Trinity College Head Men’s Basketball Coach James Cosgrove. “Pete is a tireless worker and will connect with our players and alums extremely well. Pete comes to us highly recommended, and we are very excited to have him aboard!”
Before heading to Springfield, King held the position of Head Coach and Recruiting Director for Springfield Commonwealth Academy, handling all aspects of the Power 5 AA program. King also served as assistant for the Power 5 AAA team, who made a run to the AAA Championship and a #11 ranking in the postseason New England Prep rankings. King recruited six players who earned Division I and II scholarships, ten players reach the NCAA ranks and five players represent their countries in international competitions. King co-founded the One Dream Western Mass AAU program in Spring of 2021, and served as Camp Director for the Longmeadow Basketball Camp for the last six summers.
King graduated from Springfield College in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in Movement and Sports Science with a minor in Athletic Coaching.
