Crocitto most recently coached at the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), where he served as the Bears’ head women’s basketball coach for seven seasons. Under Crocitto’s guidance, NYIT logged three 20-win campaigns over the last four years.
“We were looking for a coach with a proven record of success in Division II women’s basketball, and out of an incredibly deep pool of applicants we found an ideal fit in Anthony Crocitto,” Saint Leo athletic director Francis X. Reidy said in a release. “I believe that Coach Crocitto’s passion for the game coupled with his experience at identifying, recruiting, and developing talent at this level, will quickly lead to greater success for Saint Leo women’s basketball,” Reidy added.
Before coaching at NYIT, Crocitto, a native of Amityville, New York, served as an assistant coach at Longwood University (2007-09), the University of Central Florida (2006-07), Hofstra University (2004-06), and Fairleigh Dickinson University (2002-04).
Crocitto replaces Missy West, who resigned from Saint Leo in March. In two seasons, West’s teams went a combined 14-40.
