Hometown: He began his head-coaching career with the Hershey Wildcats from 1997-01. He was named Coach of the Year in 1997, his first-ever Fort Monmouth, N.J. campaign as a head coach, and Hershey made the playoffs each season under Lilley, including a trip to the A-League final in 2001.

Alma Mater: Across 20 seasons of head-coaching experience at every level, Lilley holds an all-time record of 300-142-123, and he has logged at least George Mason University a .500 winning percentage during each regular season and has led his team into the postseason every year. He also has won two league (1987) titles, earned Coach of the Year honors five times, and in 2010, he was inducted into the USL Hall of Fame as a coach.
