Under Charney, Panthers Show Signs of Improvement

Purchase, NY – With four starters returning next season, the Purchase College men’s basketball team can look back on the 2007-08 campaign as an important rebuilding year for the program. Despite only winning three games, the Panthers have found themselves a new head coach to steer the ship in the right direction. **Jeff Charney**, who replaced Denny Carroll midseason, has had his interim tag removed and embarks on his first full season as head coach next winter.

The valiant Panthers looked much improved in the second half of the season under Charney, learning a completely new system. High-scoring point guard **Tyriq Harrington (FR/ Corona, NY)** had a strong rookie season. Harrington led the Skyline Conference in scoring, averaging 18.6 points per game. He also led the Panthers in steals with 50, and assists with 71.

For his efforts, the playmaker was named to the All-Skyline Second Team. Harrington was not the only newcomer to show promise, as forward **Kazeem Famuyide** **(JR/Staten Island, NY)** was a solid contributor as well. Famuyide finished second on the team in scoring with 13.5 points, as well as grabbing the second most rebounds on the team.

The rebounding leader this season was co-captain **Henry Ferrarin (SR/Irvington, NY)**, who finished averaging nine rebounds to go with his 8.9 points per game this season. The Panthers also found some success behind the 3-point line this season.

Co-captain **Michael Wimmer (SR/Woodmere, NY)** led the Skyline Conference in 3-point point percentage, finishing at 50 percent for the year in conference play.

**Chad** **Charney (SR/Port Chester, NY)** also stretched the floor for the Panthers, highlighted by a 9-for-12 performance from behind the arc at St. Joseph’s College. **Maurice Richardson (FR/Elmont, NY)**, who played off the bench and also saw some time in the starting lineup, also made great strides in his first collegiate season. Reserves **Jeremy Sullivan (JR/New Rochelle, NY)**, **Chris Evangelista (JR/Shelter Island, NY)** and **Marc Flaxman (SO/ Bronxville, NY)** also made solid contributions for the team.

2006-2007 Panther Outlook

Check out some of the reasons why Purchase Basketball is such an outstanding choice. Denny Carroll and his staff are convinced that Purchase College is THE academic and athletic choice for you! Please contact the coaching staff with any questions you might have. Best of luck to you and your team this upcoming season!

Men's Basketball 2005-2006 Season Recap

The '05-'06 Season started with the hiring of a new head coach, Denny Carroll, and assistant coach, Darryl Atkinson, both of which set the stage for building a respectable basketball program. This past season proved to be a learning experience for the team as a whole. With our re-entry into the NCAA Division III ranks and our membership in the newly formed North Eastern Athletic Conference the team experienced a much higher level of competition, faced higher caliber athletes as well as elevated commitment levels in the teams they competed against. The team learned what it will take to be successful in the future in this new arena. Despite the team's record the athletes improved their individual skill levels and learned a lot about themselves. Both coaches have been doing a significant recruiting job bringing in new players for next year's season. Our goals for next season are to bring in more talented players, more energy, commitment and a greater focus for improving the entire program.

Men's Basketball 2004 Preview

After struggling early last season with adjustments under Coach Joe Ross, the Panthers look to build on a strong second half that took them to the finals of the Hudson Valley Men’s Athletic Conference tournament.

bball While All-Conference selections Steve Sage and Marc Pierre will be missed, this year’s squad returns a solid core of experience and talent including Akantunde Henderson-Amare, Peter Tambakis, Benny Rupel, Desmond Turner, Jamal Ien, and Richie Rivera. Coaches Ross and John McLoughlin also look for major contributions from newcomers Adam Kalker, Clinton Lowe, Jaison Correa-Spain, Chad Charney, Carlton Wilson, Mike Wimmer, Dan Minieri, and Fred Gibson.

Look for Rupel, Minieri, and Wilson to bring a strong inside presence, along with a balanced Panther attack that finds at least six student -athletes equipped to play two and three positions each. “We learned a lot about each other last year. These guys hung tough and it is time for them to see those efforts pay off,” explains Coach Ross. “People will see a core that is relentless, intense, and intelligent. We look forward to putting it together this season.”
