“You guys make it about the wins and losses. 25 years from now, I want them to pick up the phone and call me because they need me. I’m there for them.” The life of a coach is an investment in people, not just points. Build a legacy that outlasts the jersey.

Congratulations @FritzHamburg7 !! See you in June!! #Wawa 🥤

Story by Mark Grace.... "Rick Sutcliffe gave up back-to-back Home Run`s in Cincinnati. And in Cincinnati, they shoot off fireworks after a Red hits a home run. Rick Sutcliffe was pretty intense on the day he pitched. So Eric Davis takes him deep, and Paul O'Neill takes him deep right after that. So Sutcliffe is all mad, and pitching coach Billy Connors comes out to the mound and Sutcliffe yells at him: "I know I gave up back-to-back home runs, but get your ass back in the dugout and tell Zimmer to settle down too!" Billy Connors looks at Sutcliffe and says: "I know you have everything under control, Rick. I just wanted to give that guy running the fireworks a little more time to reload." With apologies to Mr. Sutcliffe, still my favorite baseball story!

It appears that Mark Schmidt did not forget how to coach. Most of us are aware that this is still the case.

“It's a special place; you can’t put it into words … there’s nothing like it.” Coach Schmidt talks about the support of @StBonaventure fans today, and over his 19 years leading @BonniesMBB 💭

MARK SCHMIDT!!!!!!!!! That’s the Tweet!!!

First round was ELECTRIC ⚡️ Who’s ready for day 2️⃣!?

Former St. Bonaventure president Sister Margaret Carney spoke with us at the A-10 tournament about Mark Schmidt’s legacy and the qualities she hopes to see in the next Bonnies head coach. #A10MBB #GoBonnies #Unfurl #basketball #NCAA Our story here: thebvnewspaper.com/2026/03/11/for…

⚾️⚔️☘️ Day 1.

Coach Schmidt led SBU on a remarkable run that likely won’t be duplicated. Disheartening to see his departure unfold this way, yet mishandled SBU exits are an age-old issue. With some perplexing decisions the past 18–20 months, it appears to be a rudderless ship adrift at sea.

His name will hang next to all the Championship Banners he hung in the Reilly Center … Hall of Fame … no one will ever do it better there💯💯💯🫡🫡🫡✌🏼

@TylerRelph10 Great piece! Not how it should have ended for someone that has kept the lights on at that school 🐐

Bona under Mark Schmidt: 3 NCAAT appearances, 4 A10 Titles, 339-253 (57% winning %). Bona in the 24 A10 seasons before Mark Schmidt: 1 NCAAT appearances, 0 A10 Titles, 306-412 (43% winning %). Schmidt may have lost his fastball but you can't discredit the work he did.

This is bullshit. Mark Schmidt took St. Bonaventure from an all-time low 19 years ago and consistently turned it into one of the more consistent winners in the A-10 at a place that’s almost impossible to succeed at. Very Martelli-esque how he was screwed over.
