Keelhaulers and if the past two years are
any indication, the basketball program has a
bright future. In his first year, the
team went a respectable 14-14 including key
wins over National Tournament qualifiers.
The team took a step up his second year as
they won 17 games, a total that is among the
highest in school history. In his
short time at Cal Maritime, Rooney has
coached three All-Conference players (Cody
Gatton, Andrew Medeiros, and John Stiles),
the Freshman of the Year for 2008-2009 (Zac
Kinman) and an Academic All American (Andrew
Johnson). For his work, Rooney was named
California Pacific Conference Coach of the
Year.Coach
Rooney has established a program built on
toughness and defensive accountability shown
by the fact that this year's team was
consistently in the top 5 nationally for
defensive production (points allowed per
game).
Prior to coming to
Maritime, Coach Rooney spent
the 2006-2007 season as an assistant coach
under Ken Scalmanini at
Claremont McKenna College where the team
finished with a 15-10 record in the always
competitive SCIAC conference. Claremont
McKenna ranked
in the top 5 nationally for points allowed
during the 2006-2007. Coach Rooney was
responsible for recruiting, guard play,
practice and game organization, and
counseling for career development.
Prior to his time at Claremont McKenna,
Coach Rooney had 3 successful seasons at NCAA Division II
San Francisco State (1 year) and NAIA school
Dominican University (2 years) as an
assistant under the tutelage of Bill
Treseler. At San Francisco State, Rooney
assisted in recruiting efforts that led to a
six win improvement. At Dominican
University, Rooney was directly involved in
helping the program win consecutive
California Pacific Conference Championships
as well back-to-back berths in the NAIA
National Tournament in Branson, Missouri.
During his time at Dominican, the program
also reached a top 5 national ranking and
set the school record for wins. Rooney has
worked with seven all conference players and
two NAIA All Americans (David Moore and
Marcus Williams).
