In 2013, after Marist learned of its NCAA Tournament berth — a past battles between the last 14 years, he’s worn a Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) machine over his nose No. 12 seed — Giorgis and his staff started divvying up duties.

Giorgis approached his maroon Altima, tucked his hands into his gray jacket’s sleeves and extended his right arm to wipe three inches of snow off his windshield. “Linus has his blanket for security, I have my machine,” he said. “How do you like my scraper?” he said. His command of X’s and O’s keeps others up at night. Counterparts consumed his game tapes over the last decade, reviewing his motion offense, a dizzying, disciplined system of cuts and curls, slips “You have one, right?” a staffer said. and skips that dates back to his tenure at Lourdes. “Yeah, just too lazy.” “I lost to him 20-something consecutive times.

Giorgis’ sphere of influence widened as the wins accumulated, leading to his role as an assistant coach for Team USA at the World University Games in Kazan, Russia last summer. The Americans * * * beat Russia in a “friendly” on July 4, and claimed gold medals in the end.

Not many teachers or coaches impressed her as much as Giorgis. His hair was curly then and his frame thin. She recalled him keeping late hours, sleeping overnight on a bed in the nurse’s office at times.

then watched it break low and away.

He was eventually overused.

“I had no mechanics,” he said. “More than half of my pitches were curves.”

Soccer offered one last salvation. He served as the goalkeeper in college at SUNY Cortland, but lost feeling in his legs when he leaped for a ball but landed wrong. A disc slipped in his back; pain seized him. He tried to play through it, but his condition only worsened. Sciatic nerve pain ran down one leg or the other, sometimes both, as he slept. He was done as an athlete, laid up at times. After graduation, he returned to the family home, which was then in South Euclid, Ohio, the location of his father’s latest assignment with GE’s light division. One day, Giorgis received a call from Lourdes. His father answered. There was an opening at the school. His salary would be $8,900 and Giorgis would teach health education and biology. He could also coach. No sport was specified.

“Go, get some experience and move on,” his father told him.

Paul Latino joined the Lourdes faculty at the same time and remembered Giorgis as a “real magician. Every team he had became an instant winner.” Giorgis managed the baseball team, and assisted with the junior varsity girls’ basketball squad as well as the boys. He left for a year to get his master’s degree from Virginia Tech, studied alongside future Bills pass rusher Bruce Smith and returned to Lourdes. His baseball team reached the state final in 1983, riding the adrenaline of playing for pitcher Joe Kesselmark, whose mother died of cancer. Giorgis lost his catcher to a broken wrist in the quarterfinals, but mended the lineup to extend the game to extra innings in the final. Lourdes lost, 4-3, but his lessons remained with Kesselmark as he made his way through the minors to Triple A ball. Kesselmark played for five managers who later led major league teams, from Terry Collins to Mike Hargrove. He maintained that Giorgis was their equal as a fiery teacher.

“I’ve never seen someone as good with the X’s and O’s,” Kesselmark said. “He taught us the finer points, the technical skills you needed to advance.”

It was with girls that Giorgis’ fame grew. His basketball team won so much that newspaper readers believed Lourdes to be an all-girls school. He won his first state title in 1987, three years after taking over, then four straight from 1992-95. He started one lineup with players who stood 6-3, 6-1 and 6-1. He pressed on defense and methodically wore down opponents with the motion offense. Alisa Kresge, a star point guard for Red Bank Catholic, walked into the locker room at halftime against Lourdes and remembered the suffocating defense. Her team trailed by more than 30 points. It was bewildered.

“Our coach came in and looked at us like, ‘I don’t even know what to do,’” Kresge said.

CHARLES RUPPMANN/NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Brian Giorgis’ basketball accomplishments extend beyond limits of the town of Poughkeepsie to include gold medal he won as assistant coach for Team USA at World University Games in Russia last summer.

“He was consumed by the job,” she said.

Devotion ran deep in his family. He was born in Schenectady, the son of John, a General Electric lifer from Red Lodge, Mont., and Agnes, a nun in training who left the convent to get married and raise six children.

Giorgis grew up in Scotia, a town of 7,000, before moving to Syracuse. He played three sports at Cicero High, but injuries interrupted his time in each. As quarterback, he tore cartilage in his knee so he pulled out of football. He served as a point guard in basketball, wearing floppy socks like Pete Maravich, but struggled as a senior, finally felled by an ankle sprain. He bounced back with a rubber arm in the spring. Baseball came easily as he aimed his curveball at the opposing batter’s head,

“It was the worst thing in the world,” he said.

His legacy still hangs beneath the pitched roof in the gymnasium. A photograph of his last team greets all comers in the right corner, and there are 14 golden ball trophies in an overcrowded glass case celebrating the girls’ successes. There are only two boys trophies in the accompanying case. Judith Maher, the guidance counselor, walked out of her office on Monday and offered evidence to refute the idea that Lourdes was an all-girls school. She pointed to several boys in shirts and ties walking to an afternoon class.

“See?” she said. “Boys go here, too.”

iorgis had all the answers on the court, but he gained more respect for his efforts off it. He joined fights for equality regarding boys and girls team resources. He was an active voice on voluntary coaching committees, insisting that the girls get golden trophies if the boys did. If the boys played their championship games at the Westchester County Center, why didn’t the girls? Why host award dinners for the boys but not the girls?

“He took female athletes seriously and fought for them,” Irvington High coach Gina Maher said.

Parity came, as did more championships, but his loyalty proved most enduring. Kristin Keller, the best big to ever run his motion offense, lost her father, Robert, when their family’s dairy barn went up in flames.

fell to the Sooners, 58-45, but expectations were heightened and Oklahoma became a benchmark Meg Gebbia, head coach at American University, served as Giorgis’ associate head coach for nine for Marist to measure itself against. Coale, like Giorgis, came into college coaching from the high seasons. She was the key conduit for any number of recruits, and left Marist in August when the school ranks, and she built a program strong enough to reach three Final Fours since 2002, drawing American job came open. She maintained that she and Giorgis “had been beating our heads for more then 12,000 fans to games and accepting all challenges, including a visit from Marist. When years” as they tried to solve the riddle of attracting a higher-level athlete to Poughkeepsie to Giorgis arrived, he was accustomed to changing in the public bathrooms of arenas in the MAAC, but compete against more talented teams. there was a visiting coaches’ room in Norman. “Didn’t know they had those anywhere,” he said. “It’s almost like you have to go the foreign player route,” Gebbia said. There was a gift inside, too. Coale, knowing Giorgis’ obsession with Oklahoma football, left him a ball signed by national championship coaches Bob Stoops and Barry Switzer. Her team, led by All- They’ve continued to win with domestic prospects to date. The current team is composed of players American center Courtney Paris, then whipped his, 83-57. The Sooners trekked to the McCann who proved patient in adjusting to his program.

Senior Casey Dulin, from Connecticut, earned few minutes as a freshman, but is now a team leader alongside Long Island native Emma O’Connor, the unit’s best player. One of the “It was a world they hadn’t seen before,” Coale said. “It’s like they were watching Willy Wonka.” farthest paths traveled by a current player was Sydney Coffey, a sophomore from New Hope, Minn.

It went to overtime before Rachele Fitz, the Foxes’ best player, failed to switch on a screen. Oklahoma hit a crucial three-pointer and pulled away. “I’m thinking of pursuing runway production,” Coffey said. “Might have an internship in the city this summer, but I also have to be here in the gym for workouts.”

Coale and Oklahoma returned to Giorgis’ gym on Dec. 21. Oklahoma was ranked No. 20 at the time, and Marist was finding its stride. Marist sprinted to an 18-8 lead, then failed to score for seven minutes in the first half. Ockenden knocked down three 3-pointers, Dulin absorbed an offensive foul in the closing minutes and Coffey sealed the win with free throws. Coale shook her head as she walked toward Giorgis at game’s end. Giorgis shrugged. It was Marist’s first win over a ranked team at the McCann Center. His former manager, Megan Breslin, now known as Sister Mary Strength of Martyrs at her convent in the Washington, D.C. area, cheered at center court.

After his post-game press conference, Giorgis walked toward Room 205 in the McCann Center, a dance studio dressed up as a space for boosters to celebrate with players and coaches. Murray walked in lock step with his coach.

“If she comes back, she is the classiest person,” Murray said.

Told of the compliment, Coale said, “Or I’m the dumbest.”

Banners at Our Lady of Lourdes in Poughkeepsie highlight Brian Giorgis' numerous accomplishments.

“Bad play by the all-time best player in Marist history,” Giorgis said.

Marist was a marked team by then. Scheduling grew difficult after leveling Ohio State in the opening round of the 2007 tournament en route to the Sweet 16. To play the best teams in the non- conference portion of the schedule, the Red Foxes took to the road. They hopped islands each year, going from Hawaii to the Bahamas to the Virgin Islands. They tried their luck in Las Vegas, coming up aces against the likes of Louisville and Nebraska from the Big East and Big 12. They fell to Tennessee in the NCAA tournament and played UConn twice, losing both times. As much as Marist, a school with an enrollment of 4,700 undergraduates and an annual women’s basketball budget of $1.1 million, closed the gap between the MAAC and the BCS programs, Giorgis remembered back to 2008 when he took his team to face LSU in Baton Rouge, La. The Tigers downed the Foxes to end Marist’s 22-game winning streak. RICHARD HARBUS/FOR NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Brain Giorgis (r.) has produced eight straight NCAA Tournament appearances and 11 consecutive 20- “They spend more on their tiger almost than we do on our whole budget,” Giorgis said. “Our kids win seasons at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. liked looking at it.”

There are five bobbleheads lined up in Giorgis’ office. On the far right is Jesus Christ, bearded and robed. In the middle is Rik Smits, the best basketball player to emerge from Marist’s riverside campus. On the far left stands Giorgis. It is not a perfect representation. The skin tone is too dark, as he points out, and there is a whistle around his neck. He doesn’t own a whistle anymore, relying on “echo command” at practices. When he says, “Stop!” his players echo it back. He finds it a calmer way of operating. SLIDESHOW: 10 RISING TO THE “Trying to get them to communicate more,” he said. Many keep in touch with him past their playing careers, inviting him to family events. His staff is OCCASION comprised of four former Marist players, and he sends flowers to former players now coaching their own teams after big wins or tough losses. They laugh about the donuts he kept in his jumpsuit pockets during practice and the powder traces they noticed on his cheeks. They call him Giorgis, not coach, not Mr. Giorgis. They consider him a “mush ball” for his emotional responses at trophy presentations. They all keep his bobblehead close, placing the figurines in the center of nativity scenes, inside apartment cabinets, at bachelorette parties and in the bridal suites before weddings.

“I’m just waiting for the bobblehead to get its own setting and a Diet Coke at a reception,” Vetter said. “He’s always with us.”

Finding balance continues to be an everyday battle for Giorgis. He tried to wean off the Diet Cokes, but still drinks multiple per day, sometimes three by noon. He has a membership at the gym across from campus and works out regularly. Gebbia insisted that he can work harder, though. One time she stood next to him and glanced at the level of his workout. She noted that it was on stage one. She chided him for not doing more.

“I don’t want to die because of the job,” Giorgis said. “I want to see other things.”

He rarely looks comfortable on the bench. He is all torso; his knees are shot. He crosses his arms; his face turns red. At times, he resembles Chris Farley characters from Saturday Night Live, most notably Matt Foley, the motivational speaker, but comfort comes with wins. Last Sunday, against Manhattan, the Red Foxes raced off to a fast start, and Ockenden flew up court on a fast break, She finished with an easy layup. The Foxes were up to their usual tricks, trampling another MAAC opponent when Ockenden failed to come back to the ball to help out a forward on the next possession. The mistake led to a turnover, and Giorgis, blood pressure rising, ripped Ockenden as she came to the bench.

“That’s the same crap you always do!” he said.

The Red Foxes are nothing if not consistent. They won, 81-54, then turned their attention toward Senior Night and chasing down Iona. Coale, watching from afar, noted the familiar look Marist teams 1 of 10 display this time of year, primed to approach their peak. She said the idea of the Red Foxes as dance darlings fit them well, better than any BCS team, because of their size. She admired their ability to ride the wave longer than most.

Martinez became the first player to repeat as the women’s top player since Marist’s Rachele Fitz won the award from 2008-10. The MAAC’s coaches voted the redshirt freshman the league’s men’s basketball Rookie of the Year, as announced at an awards ceremony at the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. Red Foxes senior guard Iona’s Tim Cluess (men) and Billi Godsey (women) each earned coach of the year awards. Leanne Ockenden was given the league’s women’s basketball Defensive Player of the Year honor for the second consecutive season. Sean T. McMann: [email protected]; 845-437-4826; Twitter: @journalsean

“It feels good, but it would have felt better while I was going farther in the tournament,” Hart, a redshirt freshman guard whose sixth-seeded Marist College men’s basketball team saw its season end at 12:07 a.m. Friday with a 78-76 loss to 11th-seeded Niagara in the opening round of the MAAC tournament, told the Poughkeepsie Journal. “It means a lot.”

Hart led the conference’s newcomers with seven Rookie of the Week honors this season, the most recent coming this past Monday.

No other MAAC rookie received such recognition more than three times.

Despite missing the 2012-13 season due to knee surgery, Hart burst onto the scene since his November debut, starting every game for Marist (12-19).

“I thank God and my family for pushing me through,” he said, “and I’m glad it ended with a Rookie of the Year award.”

The 6-foot-2 guard ranked second among the Red Foxes in six categories: scoring (14.7 points per game), field-goal percentage (45.7 percent), 3-point percentage (38.1 percent), free-throw percentage (79.2 percent), steals (43) and assists (78).

The league honored Ockenden’s prowess without the ball after naming her a member of the All-MAAC Third Team on Monday.

“It’s great. It’s nice to be recognized this year, especially when there are a lot of good defenders in the league,” Ockenden told the Poughkeepsie Journal before second-seeded Marist opened the MAAC tournament in a quarterfinal against 10th-seeded Siena Friday. “Thanks to the coaches for voting for me. It’s nice to get this award again.”

Ockenden made 52 steals in Marist’s 30 regular-season games — her 1.7 steals per game tied for fourth in the league — and her lock-down ability routinely held opposing teams’ leading scorers under their scoring average.

As a team, Marist led the league in fewest points allowed per game (58.9) and defensive field-goal percentage (38.2 percent).

Ockenden looked up at the MassMutual Center scoreboard and read: Quinnipiac 35, Marist 18. This may not have been the Red Foxes' toughest scare in a MAAC final — an overtime win over Iona in the NCAA Sweet 16 year of 2007 ranks as Giorgis' top heart stopper — but this one was the most "It was tough looking at that,'' Ockenden said.

In his mind, Giorgis wanted to pull out his best Vince Lombardi impression — program curled in his hand and shouting "What the hell is going on here?" — but he didn't want to lose his team. So he kept his cool and just asked his team to win the next four minutes.

"Our job in the huddle was to say there's a lot of time left,'' Giorgis said.

Giorgis wanted his team to cut the gap to 10. Marist scored the final six points, kept Quinnipiac off the board and the deficit became a more manageable 11. "That was close enough,'' O'Connor said.

There was no panic or fiery speech during halftime.

Marist: Sydney Coffey steps into MVP role for Red Foxes Prior to Monday, Coffey had 15 points, five assists and three steals in Marist’s quarterfinal win over Siena, Written by Mike Benischek Poughkeepsie Journal and 18 points in the semifinals against Rider. Mar. 11, 2014 1:11 AM | poughkeepsiejournal.com Coffey becomes the first underclassman to win the MAAC tournament MVP since Rachele Fitz won the honor as a freshman in 2007. Sydney Coffey stepped up to the free-throw line, her team up by a point with 13.6 seconds to play , her nerves as cool and calm as a Minnesota morning. With seniors Dulin, Emma O’Connor and Leanne Ockenden graduating , Dulin said her tournament performance this weekend will only benefit the future Red Foxes. Two perfect free throws later, Coffey’s Marist College women’s basketball team was on its way to the NCAA tournament for the ninth consecutive season. “I think it’s really good for her to experience this now,” Dulin said, “then bring it to next year for leadership.” They were just two in a collection of standout plays made by the sophomore en route to her team beating Journal reporter Sean T. McMann contributed to this report. Mike Benischek: Quinnipiac 70-66 for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament title on Monday. The Hopkins, [email protected], 845-437-4722, Twitter: @BenischekPJ Minn., native was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

“She was very consistent in every game. She almost was our go-to player in every game,” Marist senior Casey Dulin said. “When we needed a bucket she’s there to — I don’t even know how she makes half the shots she does.”

Most of those shots on Monday came while knifing through the lane in the second half, spearheading Marist’s effort to rebound from a 17-point deficit late in the first half.

Coffey made a three-point play off a drive early in the second half to trim Quinnipiac’s advantage to 37-32, and another three-point play midway through the period to lower the deficit to three points.

In all, she scored 10 of her 23 points in the final 10 minutes of the game.

The performance offered a glimpse of what may be to come in Coffey’s next two years, just as Dulin predicted during the preseason two years ago, when the 6-foot rookie impressed all the Red Foxes in practice, but looked timid while doing it.

“At first, Sydney was playing scared,” Dulin said at the time, “and I could tell, and I told her, ‘If you can take them to the basket, take them to the basket. You keep beating me and stopping. Go.’ ”

Despite several strong performances, the sophomore has never been one to embrace the spotlight. Coffey said she still wasn’t able to shake her apprehension until late in this season — ironically, against Quinnipiac, when she scored a career-high 28 points last month.

“I had a talk with my Dad before, because I was really struggling at the beginning of the season. I didn’t know what was going on. My 3-point shot was off,” said Coffey, whose father, Richard, played on the Minnesota Timberwolves. “My Dad was just like ‘Go out there and play.’ I’m thinking way too much. I just went out there and played, and it worked for me.”

Monday’s performance was just the latest instance of Coffey stepping up in the postseason. In regular-season play, her career per-game averages are 9.3 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.7 steals.

In seven postseason games, she’s averaging 13.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, two assists and 1.7 steals.

First, the prelude. Marist was on the wrong end of a 25-2 run in which “we couldn’t throw the ball in the ocean and they couldn’t miss,” Red Foxes Comment coach Brian Giorgis said. Leanne Ockenden made a jump shot that put Marist ahead 16-10 with 13 minutes and 53 seconds remaining in the first half.

The Foxes then went almost four full minutes without a point until Madeline Blais hit two free throws, and then another nine minutes after that before making another field goal. For the record, that was 13 consecutive misses and seven turnovers during that span.

But just before the half came the first key sequence. When Quinnipiac’s Brittany McQuain made a jumper that gave the Bobcats their biggest lead with 4:49 remaining, it was also the last field goal they would score for the rest of the half as Marist clamped down defensively.
