Here is the story:
QUEBEC COACH RETURNS TO HIS FIRST LOVE
It was only a mater of time before coach Dave got back on the bench.David Petroziello, the Quebecer whose global travels give him the most unique coaching resume in Canadian basketball, has been named Head Coach of the St. Mary's College men's basketball team in Calgary.
Coach Petroziello was already the athletic director at St. Mary's, and has now taken on the extra duties as the men's basketball program prepares to join the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC).
"St. Mary’s took a strong step to solidify its men’s basketball program today by appointing Director of Athletics David Petroziello as Head Coach," the athletic department said in a statement.
"The appointment of an experienced and well-qualified coach demonstrates St. Mary’s commitment to making the transition to the ACAC in 2012 a smooth and successful one."
Coach Petroziello takes over a program which has been consistently successful in the Alberta Colleges Athletic League (ACAL).
The league consists of small Alberta colleges that operate outside the national governing body, the CCAA.
Coach Petroziello will have a tough challenge of getting his team to compete in the higher-calibre ACAC league, but Petroziello is no stranger to challenges.
He made CEGEP de Sherbrooke a competitive squad in the AAA league, and he also led the Vancouver Titans of the IBL in a city that has had a love-hate relationship with basketball.
Coach Petroziello has also spent time overseas, including a stint in India working with that country's national team program. He also spent a year coaching in Australia.
