About Centenary University Basketball
At Centenary University, basketball is built on relationships. Head coach Jason Geleski creates an environment where players aren't just roster spots—they're part of a connected community that invests in their development on and off the court. In the Atlantic East Conference, you'll compete against programs that push you to grow, but the difference here is the personal accountability and mentorship that defines the culture. Division III basketball at Centenary means you're choosing substance over spotlight. Geleski's approach emphasizes how each player fits into the team's identity, building chemistry that translates to consistency and trust. You'll find coaching that's hands-on, a locker room where your teammates genuinely support each other's success, and a campus in Hackettstown where you belong beyond athletics. This program values character alongside competitiveness. Players graduate with meaningful relationships with coaches who remember their names, their goals, and their struggles. The smaller roster size means more playing time opportunities and direct access to coaching staff who are committed to your growth as a person. If you're looking for a program where you matter as an individual, where community feels real, and where your college experience shapes who you become—Centenary offers that foundation. Every serious recruiting conversation starts with preparation.
