Bio

 

Todd Peretz is entering his 23rd year as a member of the Mitchell College Department of Athletics. He serves as an associate athletics director as well as head coach for the men's basketball and golf programs.

Peretz, the longest tenured coach at Mitchell, has served as head men's basketball coach since stepping foot on campus. He also coaches the men's golf team and previously spent eight years leading the men's and women's cross country programs. In addition to his coaching duties, he serves as an adjunct instructor at the college. 

In 2014 Peretz led the Mariners to 19-8 record and the program's first-ever New England Collegiate Conference title. Mitchell tied for first place in the NECC regular season standings with a 12-4 mark and defeated Elms College in the NECC Championship title game by a 72-71 final. The Mariners earned the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship and made their postseason debut against national runner-up Williams College.

Several players have enjoyed stellar careers under Peretz's tutelage. Last season the Mariners had three players earn all-conference recognition and placed two on the first team. Mitchell has produced the NECC Player of the Year in two of the past four seasons and three straight NECC Rookie of the Year selections from 2011-13. 

Peretz enjoyed many successful campaigns while directing the men’s program through its transformation from a junior college to a NCAA Division III institution. In 2002 he led Mitchell to a New England Championship and national tournament appearance and was named Region and District Coach of the Year.

Peretz earned his bachelor’s degree from Eastern Connecticut State University in general studies with a concentration in physical education. He played collegiately at Rhode Island College after graduating from East Lyme High School.
