Dylan Trombley, a 2024 graduate and former men’s basketball student-athlete, has been hired as the new assistant men’s basketball coach, as announced on Tuesday by the Plattsburgh State Department of Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation.
“Dylan made a big impact on the court for us last season as a graduate transfer and has a great feel for our program,” said Blaine. “Dylan has great knowledge of the North Country, the SUNYAC, and what is needed to excel at the collegiate level. He will be a big asset to our program in all areas and we are excited to add him to our coaching staff.”
Trombley competed at SUNY Oneonta for three years on the men’s basketball team from 2018-2022 and played one season at Plattsburgh from 2023-24. At Oneonta, he scored 824 points over his career on a 40.8 shooting percentage from the three-point line. During Trombley’s 2021-22 season, he earned All-SUNYAC Second Team Honors. At Plattsburgh, he scored 303 points eclipsing the 1,000-point mark of his career as he averaged 11.7 points per game which was second on the team. Trombley was also named to the NABC Honors Court for his success in the classroom that season.
Most recently, Trombley has volunteered as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Moriah Central where the team has been to three consecutive sectional championships. He also has experience running a skill and development basketball camp where he has helped develop multiple all-state players.
Trombley graduated from SUNY Oneonta with a Bachelor of Science in Communication Studies in 2023 and earned his Master of Science in Fitness and Wellness Leadership from SUNY Plattsburgh in 2024.
