Washington College has named Tom Primosch its new head coach for the men's basketball program, tapping a coach whose recent work at Ursinus College earned him a reputation for defensive excellence and player development.
During his tenure at Ursinus, Primosch guided the team to a top‑three national ranking in defensive metrics, finishing first in blocks per game and second in steals while posting the program's best win total since the 2007‑08 season. The 2025‑26 squad featured two all‑conference selections and the Centennial Conference Player of the Year, Mo Toure, underscoring his ability to elevate talent.
A Path Shaped by NBA Insight and Academic Roots
Primosch's coaching journey includes an internship with NBA trainer Phil Becker in Phoenix, Arizona, and a stint as operations assistant for the University of Portland men's basketball team. He earned a history degree from Haverford College in 2021, a background that he says informs his commitment to holistic player growth.
At Washington College, Primosch plans to cultivate a program that emphasizes meaningful relationships and continuous improvement. He envisions the team becoming a source of pride for the campus community, blending rigorous defense with an offensive identity that reflects the liberal arts environment of the Maryland campus.
