MEN’S COACH PAT SKERRYAfter winning just one game during his first When Pat Skerry was announced as the 13th men’s basketball head coach at Towson University on April 5, 2011, he took over a program that had endured 15-straight losing seasons.

The Medford, Mass. native has revitalized the Towson men’s basketball program, leading the Tigers to consistent success in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). Under Skerry’s leadership, Towson has the highest Graduation Success Rate (GSR) in the CAA. Towson enters the 2021-22 season having won at least 18 games in six of the last nine years.

The Tigers have participated in two postseason tournaments since the 2013-14 campaign. In 2015-16 and 2016-17, Towson finished with at least 20 wins, the second time in school history that Towson has won 20 games in consecutive seasons. Towson’s 25-win year in the 2013-14 campaign was the highest amount of victories in a season in Division I and most since 1977-78.

The Tigers enjoyed a strong 2019-20 campaign that resulted in 19 victories and a third-place finish in the CAA for the third time in five years.

The Tigers won a program record seven CAA road games and had a seven-game winning streak during the month of January. Brian Fobbs and Allen Betrand finished in the top-11 in the CAA in scoring and earned All-CAA Second Team and Third Team respectively while Nicolas Timberlake was the CAA Sixth Man of the Year.

During the 2017-18 season, Towson won the Florida Gulf Coast Showcase and the Basketball Hall of Fame Belfast Classic. In addition, Towson had a 10-game winning streak, which was tied for the third best in program history. The Tigers started the season 10-1, which was the best in Towson’s Division I era, and received votes in the Associated Press Top 25 poll for the second time in program history. The Tigers also spent six weeks in the CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25 poll peaking at No. 4 on Dec. 19, 2017.

Skerry, who won his 100th career game as Towson’s head coach on Nov. 21 following a win over Penn, was the recipient of the 2017 Gene Bartow award, which recognizes outstanding achievement and contributions to the game.

season, Skerry led the Tigers to an 18-13 record in 2012-13. Not only was it the first winning season since 1995-96, it was also the largest single-season turnaround in NCAA Division I history. Skerry was selected as the CAA Coach of the Year: he became the first coach to receive that honor since Terry Truax earned back-to-back Big South Conference Coach of the Year honors in 1992-93 and 1993-94.

The success continued during the 2013-14 season as the Tigers won a Division I record 25 games. This includes winning their first two postseason games as a Division I program in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The 2013-14 season saw the Tigers end the year ranked 84th in the RPI, marking the first time Towson finished the season in the Top 100. The Tigers also received their first votes in the national polls in the Associated Press Top 25 poll.

Skerry has used his platform as a head coach and teamed up with Tom Herrion to start Autism Awareness in college basketball. What started as two guys with an idea has turned into a national event where hundreds of coaches wear the prominent blue puzzle piece pin. The effort put forth by both Skerry and Herrion were recognized as the duo was honored with the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Guardians of the Game Service Award.

Skerry served as an assistant for two seasons at the College of Charleston. In addition, Skerry spent five years with league teams William & Mary (200003) and Northeastern University (1998-2000).

In 1996, Skerry became the second-youngest head coach in the nation at the age of 26 when he was selected to guide the Curry basketball program.

During his two-year stop with the Colonels, he led Curry to its first winning season in five years.

Skerry played collegiately at Tufts from 1989-92 where he was a two-time team captain and garnered All-New England honors. As a point guard, he recorded a school-record 650 assists during his career - a mark that still ranks as the 17th best in NCAA Division III history.

Skerry earned both of his collegiate degrees from Tufts, earning his bachelor’s degree in psychology in 1992 and his Master’s Degree in education in 1995.

Pat and his wife, Kristen, have two sons, Ryan and Owen.

W O M E N ’S C O A C H D I A N E R I C H A R D S O N Diane Richardson enters her fifth year in the 2021-22 season of leading the Towson University women’s basketball program after being named the 10th head coach of the Tigers in 2017.

A unique 2020-21 slate ended with a 13-9 record for the Tigers and an 8-6 mark in the CAA (Colonial Athletic Association). Towson went on a six-game mid-season win streak defeating Hofstra, College of Charleston, James Madison and Northeastern in the process. Richardson guided three student-athletes to postseason conference honors.

Kionna Jeter became the first Tiger to earn three consecutive All-CAA first team selections. Aleah Nelson was named to the AllCAA second team after her first season in the black and gold. Allie Kubek was also selected for the All-CAA Rookie team.

Under Richardson, Kionna Jeter became the first player in program history to be chosen in the WNBA Draft. Jeter was selected with the 12th pick in the third round, 36th overall in the 2021 draft by the Las Vegas Aces. Jeter was the CAA Preseason Player of the Year. She recorded 1,582 points to rank third overall on the Towson University women’s basketball all-time scoring list.

Finished the season averaging 23.0 points per game to rank 10th in the country and first in conference. Jeter was also the first CAA player to score +30 points in three straight contests since Delaware’s Elena Delle Donne did it in the 2012-13 season as well as the first player to do it at Towson since joining the conference in 2001-02.

The 2019-20 season brought an unprecedented ending due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Kionna Jeter and Nukiya Mayo capped the season returning to All-CAA teams. Richardson coached the Tigers to a 14-15 overall record and saw a win over then-first place James Madison in January.

In the 2018-19 year, Richardson led Towson to its first program Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Championship and the program’s first berth to the NCAA Tournament. She was named the CAA and ECAC Coach of the Year and saw three players receive five All-CAA honors. Among several accomplishments, the 2018-19 team won the most games in 10 years.

In her first season at Towson, Richardson saw Mary Cuevas and Mayo receive All-CAA honors as Cuevas earned Second Team plaudits while Mayo was named to the Third Team. Cuevas was also named to the CAA All-Defensive Team.

Richardson was most recently an assistant coach and the

22 2 0 2 1 - 2 2 T I G E R B A S K E T B A L L

recruiting coordinator at West Virginia. Richardson helped WVU win its first Big 12 title. West Virginia advanced to the NCAA Tournament where the Mountaineers defeated CAA Champion Elon before falling to Maryland. Richardson played a key role in the development of Tynice Martin, Lanay Montgomery and Teana Muldrow, all of whom earned All-Big 12 Conference accolades.

Prior to her time in Morgantown, Richardson spent four years as an assistant coach at George Washington. Richardson helped the Colonials improve their win total from 11 wins to a school record 29 wins after just two seasons. GW captured a pair of Atlantic 10 regular season and conference tournament titles. Richardson and the Colonials made two NCAA Tournament appearances (2015, 2016) and reached the WNIT in 2014. She also played a key role in the development of Jonquel Jones, one of the most decorated players in GW history and current WNBA star.

She coached four all-conference players, four all-tournament players and the A-10 Tournament MVP. Richardson had two successful stints as the head coach at Riverdale Baptist High School in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. She won five National Championships during her tenure and was ranked among the USA Today Top 10 in five of her eight years.

She posted a 234-32 record and coached many talented players including Towson alum Dominique Johnson, who went on to become a 1,000 point scorer for the Tigers. Richardson was named the 2005 National High School Coach of the Year and also earned district and regional coach of the year accolades from the WBCA. She also organized an academic enrichment program which raised the team overall GPA to 3.6.

In between her stints at Riverdale Baptist, Richardson spent time as an assistant coach at Maryland and American.

She helped the Terrapins post a 33-4 record and played a key role in the development of Crystal Langhorne, Marissa Coleman and Kristi Tolliver, all of whom became WNBA AllStars.

Richardson earned her master’s degree in management from Central Michigan in 1984. She holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and sociology from Frostburg State. She also ran track at Frostburg and was the 1979 NCAA regional champion in the 200 and 400 meter races. She earned a spot on the 1980 US Olympic team, which did not compete in the games.

Richardson also has an extensive business background.

She was the founder and C.O.O. for the American Security Companies. She also served as the President and C.E.O. of RCI Financial for several years.

DAN CROWLEY, INTERIM DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS After a professional football career at quarterback that spanned eight seasons in the Canadian Football League and two in the Italian Football Federation followed by several years as a successful business entrepreneur, Dan Crowley ‘95 returned to his alma mater. He is currently serving as the school’s interim athletics director.

Crowley returned to campus as Towson University’s Senior Associate Director of Athletics for Development, overseeing all of the department’s fundraising initiatives for its 19-sport program.

As the Chief Development Officer for Towson Athletics, Dan is responsible for the supervision and direction of the Tiger Athletic Fund (TAF) with his focus on major gift work among the University’s 150,000-plus alumni and friends in Maryland and across the United States. He directly manages over 150 personal prospects, soliciting gifts at the annual, major ($10k+), planned and capital levels. His track record at Towson for closing major, planned and capital gifts is impressive and includes a record number of five, six and sevenfigure contributions.

Over the course of his Towson tenure, Dan has instituted several programs of note including a first-ever priority point system and a “Donor Wall” that recognizes annual commitments at $5,000 or greater. He initiated Towson’s first Comprehensive Capital Campaign for Athletics with an ambitious goal of $2,000,000 in private funding to provide 270 yards of lighted Field Turf for football practice fields and a 1,000-seat women’s athletic stadium complex incorporating concessions, press box and restrooms. He also established the new Towson Athletics Hall of Fame display in the Field House to celebrate the greatest achievements of the department.

42 2 0 2 1 - 2 2 T I G E R B A S K E T B A L L

Dan is a member of the National Association of Collegiate Director of Athletics (NACDA) and the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). He serves on the Colonial Athletic Association’s Football Steering Committee and Towson’s Athletics Hall of Fame Committee. He remains a member of the CFL’s Players Association.

A native of Bowie, Md., Dan attended DeMatha Catholic High School, directing the Stags to a number six national ranking his senior year when he and nine of his teammates received college football scholarships. Midway through his freshman year at Towson he became the Tigers’ starter. During his junior and senior seasons the Tigers posted identical 8-2 records, breaking into the nation’s NCAA I-AA top 25 for the first time.

He closed out his college career with numerous school records to his credit that included most touchdown passes (81) and most passing yards (8,900). In his senior year he was selected as the University’s Male Athlete of the Year. A Kinesiology major, he earned his degree in 2001. In 2010 he was inducted into Towson’s Hall of Fame.

Dan’s professional football career began when he signed as a free agent with the CFL’s Baltimore Stallions. He was a member of the only American franchise to capture the Grey Cup. In addition to the Stallions he played for the Montreal Alouettes before spending two years with the Bergamo Lions leading them to consecutive IFF titles in 1998 and 1999, earning MVP honors in both championship games. He then returned to the CFL, playing for the Edmonton Eskimos and the Ottawa Renegades before retiring.

In 2005 he opened a personal training business in Annapolis that focused on weight loss and adult programming for strength and conditioning.

He sold the business in 2010 to pursue his current career in athletic administration at Towson.
