JOSEPH KRUPINSKI

Joe Krupinski, a veteran of twelve collegiate seasons and a fixture in Vermont basketball circles for the past eight years, enters his second season as Head Coach of the Lyndon State Men’s Basketball program in 2009-2010. In his first year in charge of the Hornet program, Krupinski guided LSC to a 10-14 overall record, and a 5-9 mark in the school’s inaugural campaign in the North Atlantic Conference. The season was highlighted by the Hornets’ 59-55 home win over Plymouth State University in December, LSC’s first victory over PSU since 1978. The Hornets had two players named to the All-NAC team, including Brad Durr, the only Senior selected to the First Team by the conference coaches.

Krupinski came to Lyndon after serving for seven seasons on the staff at Division II Saint Michael’s College in Colchester, VT, including the final three as the top assistant. While at SMC, Krupinski dealt with all facets of the Purple Knight program, including game and practice coaching, recruiting, scouting and academic monitoring of student-athletes. Krupinski recruited three Northeast 10 All Rookie Team members to SMC, including the 2002 NE-10 “Rookie of the Year”, Mike Keating. The 2007-08 edition of the Knights won 16 games and reached the conference tournament quarterfinals before bowing out to NCAA Tournament participant St. Rose.

Prior to his arrival in the Green Mountain State, Krupinski spent two years as the lead assistant at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. The Redhawks were one of the top teams in the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association each year, reaching the conference tournament final both seasons. Both teams also earned bids to the ECAC Upstate post-season tournament, reaching the semifinals in 2001 after upsetting top-seeded Cortland State. Krupinski was also responsible for recruiting two of the top seven all-time leading scorers in the history of the RPI program.

Krupinski began his coaching career at his alma mater, Springfield College in Springfield, MA. In his two seasons as an assistant, the Pride were one of the top Division III teams in New England, finishing the 1997-98 season 26-2 and ranked fifth in the country – both program records – earning the top seed in the NCAA Tournament Northeast Regional. Krupinski was instrumental in recruiting the core group that advanced to the NCAA Division III “Sweet Sixteen” in 2000 – a group which included the first two “Rookies-of-the-Year” in the newly-created New England Women’s and Men’s Athletics Conference (NEWMAC). Prior to his time as an assistant, Krupinski served on the SC staff as a Student Assistant for four years, a period which included two Constitution Athletic Conference titles and two trips to the NCAA Tournament.

While at Springfield, the “Birthplace of Basketball”, Krupinski earned a bachelor’s degree in Sports Management in 1997 and went on to receive a master’s degree in Education in 1999. He is single and resides in East Burke, VT.

Captain Richard Phillips

I had the good fortune of recording my interview with Captain Phillips last evening.  The US Captain who was infamously captured by Somali pirates April 8th of this year; rescued by the US NAVY SEALS.

Wow.

WOW!

a lost season

Expectations of another World Championship were not unrealistic for the Boston Red Sox; who swept the World Series in 2004 and 2007.

Now, after being swept in the ALDS by the LA Angels ... HUGE changes are expected as an era ends.
