Dec 06 2042: Recognizing Hulsey - by BMacG on January 1st, 2025

Former HC Dillon Hulsey was added alongside former player Dan Christy to the RIT Hall of Fame - Hulsey retired after two rough seasons, but the players he recruited will serve as the foundation of RITs coming success - he leaves as the winningest coach in RIT history, and the only coach to get them beyond LL5.

Jan 24 2041: Double Double King - by BMacG on September 26th, 2024

Despite a mostly lost season for RIT plagued by injuries to the few veteran players on the team, SR Dan Christy has been a bright spot.

With todays 22 points and 15 rebounds, Dan Christy earned his 12th "double-double" of the season, and the 55th of his career, and is (likely) the RIT record holder.

Additionally, RS SR Dylan Urban now holds the RIT record for career assists with 890.


Mar 24 2040: End of an Era - by BMacG on August 20th, 2024

As the season comes to a close, RIT ends an era with the graduation of 3 starters and 5 scholarship seniors total. This core of players and coach Hulsey led RIT to a run of success unprecedented in the schools history.

Hulsey over the last three seasons has done the following:
112-24 record overall
78-12 Conference record
11-5 Post-season record
3 Consecutive Conference Titles
3 Consecutive Promotions
3 NT invites

The three starters graduating also made RIT history:
Jacob Burns ends his career with 1854 points, 1051 rebounds, 223 steals (6th AT for RIT), and 89 blocks
#1 AT for single season 3pt % (47.9)
#1 AT for career 3pt% (42.1)
#2 AT for career 3pt (336)
#3 AT for career +/- per game (+11.69)
#1 AT for career total +/- (+2081)
#7 AT for POTG awards (21)

Joel Shepherd was never a huge scorer, but was one of the most reliable defenders on the roster.
He ends his career #2 AT for steals with 266, and he did not have any full seasons where he allowed 40% or more for OFG%.
His last season his OFG allowed was 34.8% with an OeFG of 43.1%, and a career avg of 37.6/46.9, and is #3 AT for career +/- with +1781.

Keith Brennan was a reliable inside scoring presence as the first seven footer in Hulseys tenure - he ends his career #1 AT for single season FG% (2038, 66%) and career FG% (62.3%).

Next season will be a rebuilding season for RIT, but Dan Christy and Dylan Urban hope to be able to help RIT survive and avoid demotion in their first ever season in LL3.




Nov 26 2039: Hulsey Hits Double Hundo - by BMacG on July 15th, 2024

Dillon Hulsey continues to build upon his legendary status at RIT - less than three seasons after becoming the winningest basketball coach in RIT history, he has hit 200 career wins as a head coach with RIT, for a career record of 200-115 (0.635) with an in-conference record of 136-76 (0.642). Additionally, he has a 10-6 Conference Tournament record, and a 4-3 National Tournament Record. He has led the team to three Conference Championships (VI.16 2035, VI.15 2038, V.8 2039) and a Conference Tournament Championship in 2038.

Hulsey is RIT's first coach in school history to:
- Hit 150 and 200 wins
- Win back to back conference championships
- Win a conference tournament championship
- Win a DII conference
- Promote to LL4/DI

RIT is Hulsey's first shot at being a Head Coach, and he has made the most of it, totally turning around the RIT basketball program, and has been on fire over the last few seasons - over the last 100 games, the Tigers have gone 84-16.

With age creeping up on him, Hulsey has hinted this may be his last season coaching - if so, what an incredible impact he has had in Rochester!
