St. Bonaventure

Mike Reilly was one of the most loved and respected coaches in the Bonaventure community to ever teach the game.

He served as an assistant to Fred Ostergren and landed the head job in 1930. His 13-year tenure has a record of 44-44-7; the first coach to end with a .500 percentage or better.

After Coach Reilly passed away, the main athletic arena on St. Bonaventure's campus was fittingly named the Reilly Center after the legendary coach and great Bonaventure man.

Reilly's basketball record from 1928-1942 was 133-75. Many on his basketball team were converted football players.  His undefeated team of 1937-38 had at least 10 football men.

He also served as a mathematics professor at the university from 1928-43.
