Meet the Head Coach
Head Coach Michael Byrnes
Michael Byrnes enters his third season as Rhode Island College's head men's basketball coach.
In his second season in 2015-16, the Anchormen finished with a 6-21 overall record and a 4-10 (seventh place) mark
in the Little East Conference. The Anchormen upset second-seeded Southern Maine before falling in the semifinals of the
Little East Conference Tournament.
In his first season at the helm in 2014-15, Byrnes guided the Anchormen to a 20-8 overall record and a 10-4 (second
place) mark in the Little East Conference in 2014-15. RIC notched its ninth straight 20-win season and reached the title
game of the Little East Conference Tournament for the ninth consecutive campaign.
Byrnes joined the RIC athletic department in July of 2014 after spending four seasons as an Assistant Coach at Robert
Morris University. Byrnes joined the staff at RMU with 16 years of coaching experience at the prep school level, including
14 seasons at the Winchendon School in Winchendon, Mass.
As an assistant at RMU in his four seasons, Byrnes helped the
Colonials stretch their streak of consecutive winning seasons to nine as Robert Morris finished
18-14 (.563) in 2010-11 and tied a school record for victories with an overall mark of 26-11
(.703) in 2011-12. RMU appeared in the NEC Tournament championship game each season.
In 2012-13, Byrnes assisted in helping guide Robert Morris to an overall record of 24-11
(.686) and its 10th NEC regular-season championship thanks to a league ledger of 14-4 (.778).
The Colonials earned an automatic bid to the National Invitation Tournament (NIT).
Robert Morris posted an overall record of 22-14 (.611) in 2013-14, including a mark of 14-2
(.875) in the Northeast Conference. The Colonials secured their second straight NEC regularseason championship and 11th overall in 2014 but fell in the championship game of the 2014
NEC Tournament, 88-71, to Mount St. Mary's. Despite the loss, RMU appeared in the postseason for the sixth time in the last seven years with an automatic bid to the National Invitation
Tournament (NIT). Making its third appearance in the NIT in program history, Robert Morris
advanced to the second round for the second straight year thanks to an 89-78 victory at St. John's.
During his time as a head coach at the prep level, Byrnes compiled an overall record of
401-131 (.754), claimed a pair of New England Prep School Athletic Conference (NEPSAC)
championships and sent over 100 players to Div. I institutions, including Louisville, Villanova,
Providence, Robert Morris, Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania.
"Michael has been involved in basketball at both the prep and collegiate level for over 20
years, and his success at the prep level speaks for itself,” Robert Morris Head Coach Andrew Toole
said. “The players he’s produced, the contacts he’s made and the experience he’s gained in the prep
school ranks made him a natural fit to join our staff at Robert Morris to help take our program
to even greater heights.”
Byrnes has coached several players at the prep ranks that have gone on to careers in the
National Basketball Association (NBA), including Francisco Garcia, who played collegiately at
Louisville, spent eight seasons with the Sacramento Kings and the last two with the Houston Rockets, and Bruno Sundov, a 7'3", 220-pound center from
Croatia who was a second round pick of the Dallas Mavericks in the 1998 NBA Draft and played for five teams throughout his seven-year career.
Byrnes also coached former guard John Linehan in the prep ranks
before sending him off to Providence College, where he became the NCAA
all-time steals leader with 385 thefts from 1997-2002. Linehan was named
the Big East Defensive Player of the Year in both 2001 and 2002. He was
heavily involved in recruiting Karvel Anderson to Robert Morris, who was
named the 2014 Northeast Conference Player of the Year.
Byrnes started his coaching career as an assistant coach at Div. III
Ferrum College in Ferrum, Va., in 1991-92 before serving in the same
capacity with Div. III Roanoke College in Salem, Va., in 1992-93.
From 1993 to 1995, Byrnes was both an assistant and head coach at
Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., before returning to the collegiate ranks to serve as a graduate assistant coach with the University of
Massachusetts in Amherst, Mass., in 1995-96.
A 1990 graduate of the University of Massachusetts with a bachelor
of science degree in sports management, Byrnes was a three-year letterwinner for the Minutemen, appearing in 44 career games, including a pair of
starts. He was honored with the Lorenzo Sutton Award in 1988-89, which
is bestowed annually to the most improved player for the program.
A native of Canton, Mass., Byrnes and his wife, Brenilda, have two
daughters, Elizabeth and Ashley.

Meet the Assistant Coaches
Assistant Coach Matt Mahar
Matt Mahar begins his first season as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Rhode Island College.
Mahar comes to RIC with over two decades of experience at the collegiate and high school level. Prior to
arriving at RIC, the veteran coach had stops at Johnson & Wales, University of Vermont, Champlain Junior
College, Chaminade and Assumption.
“I am very fortunate to have Matt join our
staff,” Byrnes said. “Matt comes from a successful basketball family and he brings a wealth of
knowledge to our bench. He has close recruiting
ties in the state of Rhode Island and he has always
done a great job recruiting the junior college
ranks. I look forward to working with Matt and know he will be a huge
addition.“
“I am grateful for the opportunity that coach Byrnes is giving me in
joining the men's basketball staff,” Mahar said. “Rhode Island College has a
rich history in the Little East Conference and in state of Rhode Island and I
am looking forward to helping the program in any way I can.”
At Chaminade, Mahar amassed over 100 wins and led the team to
three Pacific West Championships. The team made three NCAA Division
II Championship appearances and reached the second round of the tournament twice. Mahar also served as the head coach at Assumption where he
posted a 21-8 record and an appearance in the second round of the NCAA
tournament in 2013. During his illustrious career, Mahar mentored 19
players that have played professionally in the United States and overseas,
while countless student-athletes earned All-Conference recognition during
his career.
Mahar is single and resides in Narragansett.

Meet the Assistant Coaches
Assistant Coach Cory Macchioni
Cory Macchioni enters his first season as an assistant men’s basketball coach at Rhode
Island College. Macchioni joins the Anchormen after spending last year as the Director of
Basketball Operations at Canisius. The energetic young coach also served as Vice President for
Basketball Operations for the Providence Sky Chiefs of the American Basketball Association
in 2014-15.
"I am excited to have Cory join our staff.” Byrnes said. “Cory worked under Jim Baron
as a basketball manager at University Rhode Island and was head of basketball operations at
Canisius for two seasons, so he is more than qualified to assist us in every aspect of running a
college basketball program.”
“I am excited to work with an ambitious staff that pushes and challenges their players
every day,” Macchioni said. “I am also thrilled to continue my career in my home state in front
of my family and friends and look forward to helping RIC basketball get back to the NCAA
tournament.”
At Canisius, Macchioni was responsible for handling the team’s day-to-day operations and served as the director for the Jim
Baron Summer Basketball Camps. With the Sky Chiefs, Macchioni helped scheduled practices, team travel and team payroll.
He helped guide the Sky Chiefs to a divisional and regional championship in the team’s first year in the American Basketball
Association.
Macchioni is single and resides in Johnston.
