“Coach Q” grew up in the New York metropolitan area, more specifically the Bronx and Westchester County. He is a veteran college basketball coach with close to thirty years of coaching experience.

Most recently, as the Director of Basketball Operations at the University of Kansas Jayhawks for twelve seasons, Coach Q was part of six Big 12 regular-season championships, two Big 12 Tournament titles, five in-season tournament titles, three NCAA Tournament Elite Eights, two Final Four appearances and the coveted NCAA National Championship in 2022. 

Additionally, Coach Q has seen 22 Jayhawks enter the NBA.

With past experience at schools like Notre Dame, St. John’s, North Carolina, and Iowa State, Coach Q was one of the most respected assistants in the country.

"He's been the primary person in charge of working with the players and developing a culture our program," Kansas Head Coach Bill Self said. "He has done a fantastic job and will be missed.”
