A native of West Virginia, Coach Harris has made Saint Vincent College his home. "I really like the area and the people are fantastic." Before his arrival to Saint Vincent, Coach Harris coached at Wheeling Park High School and a season of College basketball at Ohio University Eastern. After six seasons as an assistant, D.P. has now posted a record of 81-35 in four seasons as Head Coach, including back-to-back NAIA National Tournament Sweet 16 appearances.

Known for his ability to recruit and a work ethic among the coaching fraternity as "relentless," he knows the meaning of hard work. "It's simple to me as a coach; you show up, and you don't leave until the work is done and done right. If it means showing up at 4:00 a.m. and working through lunch, then so be it."  The Bearcats, assisted and now coached by Harris, have been to five National Tournaments, including two Elite Eights, and two Sweet Sixteen appearances. They have also played in six Conference Championships. "The players win games, and if you get guys that want to work and are coachable, the program will be successful."

Harris has seen six of his players earn a total of nine All-American honors, while four players, including, Tony Washam, Kenny Roberts, Felix Indaye, and Rob Husar, have gone on to professional careers in Europe. 

Coach Harris' eyes light up when people ask about the Carey Center. "What a great time to be at Saint Vincent College. The facility is one of the finest in college basketball and is a great addition for all students and student-athletes at the school."

In July of 2007, Kenny Roberts, one of the most prolific players in Saint Vincent basketball history, returned to the college to assume the position of full-time assistant coach. 

Roberts, a 2005 graduate of Saint Vincent, finished his four-year playing career with countless accolades.  A point guard, he started every game in his career, as the Bearcats made four consecutive trips to the NAIA National Tournament.  He was named NAIA All-American twice, and was a three-time American Mideast Conference First Team pick.

A native of Falling Waters, WV, Roberts finished his career as the fourth leading scorer in school history with 1,703 points, for an average of 14.2 points per game.  He also tallied 563 assists in his four years in a Bearcat uniform, good for an average of 4.7 per contest.

Roberts returns to Saint Vincent after playing professionally for two years in Great Britain for the Manchester Magic and Tees Valley, averaging 19 points and four assists over those two seasons.

Coach Szramowksi comes to Saint Vincent via the University of Pittsburgh, where he served as a manager for the Panthers for five seasons- the five best seasons the Pitt basketball team has ever had.

For his first three years at Pitt, Szramowski worked under coach Ben Howland, who is now the head man at UCLA.  Szramowski then worked for current coach Jamie Dixon for two years.

Szramowski, a graduate of Shaler and four-year member of the perennial WPIAL power Titans basketball squad, majored in Marketing at Pitt, receiving his degree in 2004.  He stayed at the school for the 2004-05 year, studying math and continuing to work with the basketball team. 

While at Saint Vincent, Szramowski will pursue a Masters degree in Accountancy.
