Pat Fuscaldo, who returns for his 23rd season as head coach, became the winningest basketball coach in Sonoma State history in 2007-08 and is currently the dean of Men’s Basketball coaches in the CCAA. In 2005-06, he led the Seawolves to their first ever California Collegiate Athletic Association championship with a 16-4 conference record. For his efforts, Fuscaldo was voted the CCAA Coach of the Year by his peers. He received his B.A. in 1983, and later his Master’s Degree in Physical Education/Sports Psychology-Administration, both from San Francisco State. He is married to former Stanford All-American and ABL player Molly Goodenbour, now the head women’s basketball coach at the University of San Francisco.
Frank Scalercio is a 1978 graduate of Montgomery High School, where he lettered in football, wrestling and track and field. He played football for SRJC and U C Davis, receiving All Conference honors. After graduation, Scalercio coached one year at UC Davis and then moved to Sonoma State, first as an assistant coach, then head coach from 1993 until the program was discontinued. He recruited and coached former NFL great and Hall of Famer, Larry Allen.
As Director of Development for Athletics, Frank has been charged to develop an Alumni, booster and friends of SSU organization known as the Sonoma State Athletic Association. The mission of this organization is to provide both moral and financial support for intercollegiate athletics at Sonoma State University.
