After helping to produceone of the most significantseasons in the history of

the Cal Poly men’s basketballprogram, Joe Callero returns forhis third year as head coach ofthe Mustangs this fall. Selectedto finish fifth in the Big West, the2010-11 Mustangs insteadmatched single-season programrecords for highest showing inthe Big West standings (sec-ond), highest seeding for theconference tournament (second)and total Big West victories (10).One of the top defensive teamsin Division I last season, Cal Poly– out of 335 programs – rankedthird nationally in opponentthree-point percentage (28.7),sixth in opponent scoring aver-age (58.9 points per game) and25th in opponent field goaldefense (40.0 percent). TheMustangs also ranked 42ndnationally by committing just 11.9turnovers per game.

Under Callero’s direction lastyear, guard Shawn Lewis

earned All-Big West first teampraise and finished as the sev-enth-leading scorer in Mustangprogram history with 1,265career points. Additionally, for-ward David Hanson was namedto the all-conference secondteam while guard Maliik Loveearned Big West Co-FreshmanPlayer of the Year praise.

Callero’s initial 2009-10 sea-son at Cal Poly yielded one ofthe top single-year turnaroundsin program history. In orchestrat-ing a five-win improvement overthe previous season, Calleroalso directed the Mustangs to a5-2 start in Big West play – theprogram’s best beginning to anyconference schedule at theDivision I level. Predicted to finishlast in the standings, Cal Polyeventually clinched the No. 6seed for the Big WestTournament and capped thecampaign by winning the pro-gram’s first conference tourna-ment game in three seasons – a73-69 opening-round triumphversus UC Irvine. Individually,guard Lorenzo Keeler becamethe first Mustang in three sea-

sons to earn All-Big West firstteam praise. Hanson earned all-conference honorable mentionconsideration while guard KyleOdister was selected to the BigWest All-Freshmen Team.

Named head coach of CalPoly on April 3, 2009, Calleroowns a penchant for revitalizingcollege basketball programs. Ashead coach at Seattle (2001-09),Callero guided the Redhawks to75 victories during his final fourseasons and successfully direct-ed the program through its tran-sition to the Division I level.Callero’s final 2008-09 seasonwith the Redhawks produced a21-8 campaign and the pro-gram’s highest winning percent-age in 45 seasons. Additionally,the 2008-09 Redhawks – as anindependent program – finishedNo. 131 out of 347 programs inthe final Sagarin Ratings.

Under Callero, Seattle fin-ished the 2006-07 season with a20-9 record, a Great NorthwestAthletic Conference title and theprogram’s first berth in the NCAADivision II Tournament in 38years. During just his second

season at Seattle, Callero direct-ed the Redhawks to a 16-11 fin-ish that was the program’s firstwinning campaign in nine sea-sons and a 10-victory improve-ment upon the previous year.

Prior to his tenure at Seattle,Callero guided Division IIIUniversity of Puget Sound to acombined 22-25 record duringthe 1999-00 and 2000-01 sea-sons. The Loggers finished 14-10 during his final season tosecure the program’s first win-ning campaign in nine years.

Before pointing the PugetSound program in a winningdirection, Callero served the1998-99 season as an assistantcoach at USC. During his oneseason, Callero assisted theTrojans to a National InvitationalTournament appearance.

A prominent figure on thenorthwest basketball scene formore than two decades, Callerocompiled a 130-49 mark duringtwo three-season stints atHighline Community College(1989-92, 1995-98) and, beforedeparting for USC, helped guidethe Thunderbirds to successive

Northwest Athletic Association ofCommunity Colleges champi-onships. Callero twice earnedconference Coach of the Yearpraise after Highline posted acombined 63-2 mark during the1996-97 and 1997-98 cam-paigns. Callero coached BrianScalabrine while at Highline andrecruited the current ChicagoBulls forward to USC.

Between his successful stintsat Highline, Callero served as thehead coach and as a guidancecounselor at Sumner HS (1992-95). Under Callero, Sumner alsoposted its first winning campaignin six years.
