James Cosgrove parlayed a 68-39 career record at Endicott into the head coaching job at Adelphi University. He replaces Jim Ferry, who left Adelphi to coach Long Island University.

Adelphi went 26-3 this past season and reached the NCAA Division II Elite Eight. They were ranked No. 4 in Division II in the final coaches' poll.

"I am tremendously excited and this is a great opportunity", Cosgrove said. "Adelphi had great success in its past and I hope to continue that tradition. Adelphi is a great place to work with tremendous people on staff. I am excited to be here."

Cosgrove was the 1998-99 GNAC coach of the year and led Endicott to the 2000 CCC championship.
