Carl Danzig has developed quite a niche as head coach of The University
of Scranton men’s basketball program.
Since taking over in 2001, he has led the Royals to a 120-69 record
(.635). Danzig’s most noteworthy accomplishment, however,
came in 2003, when he led the Royals to a Freedom Conference
championship and a ‘Sweet 16’ appearance in the NCAA
Division III tournament to cap off a 24-win season, Scranton’s
most since 1993. He built that championship team around a solid
defense that limited opponents to less than 42 percent shooting from
the field, which led the Freedom Conference. In 2004-2005, he led
the Royals to a
14-game turnaround from the previous year, as Scranton went 20-7,
qualified as the number three seed in the Freedom Conference
post-season tournament and advanced to semifinals of the Eastern
College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Southern Region tournament.
In 2006, despite losing a number of players to injuries,
he led Scranton to the Freedom Conference championship, its 20th NCAA
tournament appearance, and a 21-7 overall record. In 2007, the
Royals went 19-7, including a 10-4 mark in their final
season as a member of the Freedom Conference of the Middle Atlantic
States Collegiate Athletic Corporation. The Royals continued
their success under Danzig this past year by winning the first-ever
championship of the Landmark Conference and earning a Pool B bid to the
2008 NCAA Division III championships.
His ascension to his first head coaching position followed a similar
path that many in his profession have taken.
He got his start as a graduate assistant with the men's basketball program
at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he earned a Master of Arts
degree in education before landing as an assistant at Bucknell University,
an NCAA Division I institution. During his 11-year tenure, the Bison
posted an overall record of 180-135 (.571) under head coaches Charlie Woollum
and Pat Flannery, including seven winning seasons and 20-or-more wins in 1992
(21) and 1993 (23). Bucknell also advanced to the Patriot League championship
game four times during Danzig's tenure, losing to Fordham, 70-65, in 1992;
Holy Cross, 98-73, in 1993; Navy, 76-75, in 1997; and Lafayette, 67-63, in
1999. His major duties were recruiting, scheduling, scouting and film
exchange. He also assisted in the coordination of the Bison summer
camp program, community service projects, alumni activities and fund-raising
efforts.
While an undergraduate at Baker University in Kansas, he was a two-year
captain on the men's basketball team and finished his career as the second
all-time leading scorer in Wildcat history with 1,732 points. A three-time
all-Heart of America Conference selection and a first team all-district pick
his senior year, he led the team in scoring and rebounding three times.
He was also a four-year letterman on the men's golf team. He is a 1987
graduate of Baker with a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education.
Carl, a native of Overland Park, Kansas, and his wife, Lynette, a certified
public accountant, are the parents of three sons: Ross, Ethan and Jackson.
The family resides in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania.

Mike Bartoletti finished up his seventh season as a member of
the Royal coaching staff. He came to the University in
2001 after a highly successful career as head women’s basketball coach at
nearby Lackawanna College, where he led the Lady Falcons to an overall record
of 163-40 (.803) during a seven-year span, which included a National Junior
College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region 19 Division II title (1995) and
a seventh-place national finish (1995). He was also named Region 19
Coach of the Year in 1995 and Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA)
District II Coach of the Year in 2000.
His Lady Falcons won 20-or-more games in a season all seven years,
including a 22-6 mark and a semifinal berth in the Division II Region 19 tournament
this past year. In addition, he coached the Falcons' baseball team
to a five-year record of 110-84-2 (.567) after serving as an assistant for
three seasons.
A 1981 graduate of Riverside High School, Bartoletti played baseball
at Lackawanna before matriculating at Robert Morris College in Corapolis,
Pennsylvania, where he earned a bachelor of science degree in business administration
with a concentration in sports management. In addition to serving an
internship with the United States Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs,
Colorado, Bartoletti coached girls basketball at Old Forge High School for
three seasons, winning a Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association
(PIAA) District II title and qualifying for the state playoffs the other two
years.
Mike and his wife, Marylynn, currently reside in Old Forge, Pennsylvania.
He will also begin his sixth season as head coach of the Royals' baseball
program in 2008.
