Athletes - P. J. Carlesimo


Peter J. Carlesimo (born May 30, 1949 in Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States) is a college and professional basketball coach. P.J. coached Seton Hall University from 1982-1994 (212-166) and was named the school's "Coach of the Century" and led the Pirates to an overtime loss to Michigan in the 1989 National Championship. Carlesimo served as a head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers and Golden State Warriors in the NBA. He also served as an assistant coach on the 1992 Olympic "Dream Team." He is currently an assistant coach for the San Antonio Spurs under Gregg Popovich.

Carlesimo is probably best remembered as the victim of a notorious attack by Latrell Sprewell
during a 1997 practice when Carlesimo was head coach of the Golden State Warriors. During this incident, Sprewell choked Carlesimo for nearly 15 seconds until being pulled off by several teammates, and elbowed him several minutes later. Sprewell said that if his teammates did not stop him he would have seriously injure Carlesimo. Sprewell was suspended for the remainder of that season, and never again played for the Warriors.

P.J.'s father, Peter A. Carlesimo
, was a longtime coach and athletic director at the University of Scranton and Fordham University. He is credited with helping to keep the NIT alive in the late 1970s when interest in it faded.
