University Of Rochester Basketball

The University of Rochester men’s basketball team is back. It’s been a six-year hiatus for the Yellowjackets, who were forced to drop the program in 2009 due to budget cuts. But now, the school has found the money to bring it back and Bill Booker is the coach tasked with putting together a team from scratch in just two months.

“Going through this process for two months, it’s been really good for me,” says Booker. “It’s given me a chance to go through every player I’ve had since I started coaching.”

Booker will return to the court with a young roster; all but one of his players are freshmen. That includes 17-year-old forward Corey Peach, who grew up in Rochester and attended Whitney Young High School.”I’m excited because, you know, even though we’re all freshman,” said Peach,”we’re still going to come out here with our best effort.” We’re going to give it our all.”

After a six-year hiatus due to budget cuts, the Yellowjackets are on their way to becoming one of the best teams in Division III basketball. In their first season back, they finished with a 27-5 record and won their second consecutive Liberty League Championship. This year, they were able to add another senior, who was a top recruit from his high school class: forward Jack Crosby, known for being a great all-around player who can score at will but also has great defensive ability. With this addition and other returning players who have been playing together for years, it seems like this season could be even better than last year’s!

It’s been a six-year hiatus for the Yellowjackets, who were forced to drop the program in 2009 due to budget cuts. At that time, RIT was facing financial troubles and had to make some dramatic cost-saving measures—a decision that also meant accepting Rochester Institute of Technology as an official school name.

However, it seems as though RIT has turned things around in recent years: The university announced last fall it had received more than $1 million in donations over the previous 18 months (including $500,000 from alumnus Sam Renzetti), earmarked toward reinstating its men’s basketball program.

But now, the school has found the money to bring it back and Bill Booker is the coach tasked with putting together a team from scratch in just two months.

Before the news broke that men’s basketball would be returning, Syracuse was one of two schools in the country to have both its men’s and women’s basketball programs ranked in the top 25. But now, the school has found the money to bring it back and Bill Booker is the coach tasked with putting together a team from scratch in just two months.

Booker said he’s excited about having his own team. “It’s amazing,” he said. “Once you get an opportunity to coach at this level, it doesn’t matter where they’re playing; it matters what they bring.”

“Going through this process for two months, it’s been really good for me,” says Booker. “It’s given me a chance to go through every player I’ve had since I started coaching.”

The new coach, Bill Booker, has been coaching for a long time. He’s coached several teams and at several colleges, high schools and middle schools.

In an interview with the Associated Press, Booker says “Going through this process for two months, it’s been really good for me,” says Booker. “It’s given me a chance to go through every player I’ve had since I started coaching.”

Booker will return to the court with a young roster; all but one of his players are freshmen. He said he thinks it will be easier for them to learn from each other than from him, and he hopes that they’ll grow up together.

That includes 17-year-old forward Corey Peach, who grew up in Rochester and attended Whitney Young High School.

• Corey Peach is a 17-year-old forward who grew up in Rochester and attended Whitney Young High School.
• “It’s a blessing to have him,” said coach Jeff Boals about Peach. “He comes from a great family, he has great character and he’s been around this program for years now. He knows what it takes to compete at this level so we are excited about getting him on campus and seeing what he can do for us.”

“I’m excited because, you know, even though we’re all freshman, we’re still going to come out here with our best effort,” said Peach. “We’re going to give it our all.”

The team is young but poised for success. They are confident in the abilities of their teammates and themselves as a unit. This is a group that will work hard together toward the same goal: winning basketball games at the University of Rochester while having fun doing it!

Bill Booker returns as head coach with an all-freshman roster.

Bill Booker will be returning as the head coach of the University of Rochester’s basketball program. He will be working with an all-freshman lineup for the first time since he took over in 2016. The roster is young and inexperienced, but Coach Booker doesn’t see this as a problem. “Our guys are excited to play together,” he said during a press conference announcing his return. “We’re ready to come out strong.”

In order to prepare for their upcoming games, which include opponents such as Stanford, Yale, and Columbia University (NYC), players have been working hard in practice on their skillset and fundamentals—specifically ball handling drills and shooting drills—in order to improve their on-court performance so they can compete against top teams in Division 2 college basketball next season.”

There is a lot of excitement around the return of this program, and it will be interesting to see how they fare against some tough competition in the division. We’ll be watching!
