Head Coach Landry Kosmalski

Landry Kosmalski (Davidson '00) is entering his first season as the head men's basketball coach at Swarthmore College. Kosmalski, the 31st head coach in program history, was hired on May 4 by Marian Ware Director of Physical Education and Athletics Adam Hertz. Kosmalski arrives at Swarthmore after serving as an assistant coach at his alma mater from 2004-06 and 2009-12.

2013 Outlook

A new day is dawning at Swarthmore with a new head coach in Kosmalski. The final roundup is underway for Gates - one of the top players in school history with 1,309 points and 513 rebounds in just three seasons. He averaged 18.0 points and 6.7 rebounds per game a year ago. Kober provides a scoring threat as well, averaging 11.0 points, while Federer returns to run the offense. Who steps up as scoring threats with that trio is the big question. Sharma, Ancona and Cheney provide height up front, while Martinez and Keedy add depth to the backcourt. The Garnet will not resemble the teams from years past in 2013, but may not be ready for a playoff berth.
