About The Team

Springfield College and basketball are nearly synonymous. After all, Springfield College is “The Birthplace of Basketball”. And the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is located in downtown Springfield, Massachusetts, just 10 minutes away from this campus, where the original Basketball Hall of Fame was first housed.

It is safe to say that no other college has had as great an influence on the game as Springfield College. No less than nine individuals affiliated with SC have been inducted into the Hall of Fame, including inventor Dr. James Naismith. Others include John Bunn, Dr. Luther Gulick, Dr. Ferenc Hepp ’35, R. William Jones ’28, Ed Hickox ’14, Arthur Schabinger ’15, Amos Alonzo Stagg, and Dr. Ed Steitz G’48, ’63 D.P.E., all major contributors to the game.

Current Head Coach Charlie Brock, who notched his 400th career coaching victory during the 2009-2010 season, continues to elevate his name to new levels. Coach Brock is quickly approaching 200 wins while at Springfield, as he enters his 14th season with the Pride sitting on 194 wins. In the Fall of 2009, Brock was selected as the Chair for the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Committee, where he headed up acommittee that ultimately decided who will played in the 2010 NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Tournament. In 2006, Brock was selected to two very prestigious positions – the Board of Directors in the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), and the NCAA Division III Men’s Basketball Committee. He also continues to be a member of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee, which made national news in May, 2007 when it announced that the men's collegiate three-point line would be extended from 19' 9" to 20' 9" at the start of the 2008-09 season .
