Dick Whitmore will be in his 32nd year at the helm of the men's basketball program. Colby has compiled a record of 525-236 for a .692 winning percentage during his tenure. Whitmore, a 1965 graduate of Bowdoin College, has accumulated 26 winning seasons and taken his teams to postseason competition 21 times in the last 28 years. He was honored as Maine College Coach of the Year in 1973, 1975, 1981, 1995, 1997 and 2001. He was inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame in 1998.

Before arriving at Mayflower Hill in 1970, Whitmore coached at Morse High School in Bath, Maine, and at Hall-Dale High School in Hallowell, Maine. He is the co-director of the Pine Tree Basketball Clinic, which is conducted on the Colby campus each summer.

TJ Maines'95 begins his 5th year coaching with the program. Blessed with strong knowledge of the program, TJ adds a great sense of enthusiasm to the team. An avid recruiter TJ spends countless hours talking with recruits about Colby and the program.

John "Swisher" Mitchell, Assistant Coach

John will return for his 38th year on the staff and will continue to add a special dimension with his wide range of knowledge and expertise. . One of the most astute coaches around, "Swisher's" dedication, love of the team and coaching wisdom over the course of a season is an integral and meaningful part of the team's success. Whether it is a humorous comment to relax and inspire a player, direct input in game situations or the evaluation of performance, the results are always positive and the effect often dramatic.

A legend in Maine basketball, "Swisher" was a major cog in the historic 1944 Waterville High School New England Championship team. Following a brilliant career at the University of Rhode Island, John has been in coaching for more than fifty years and has the respect of everyone connected with the game.

Everywhere Colby travels, the first question asked is "Where is the Swisher?" We are delighted that he remains a major force in the program as John and his wife, Prinella, are at the heart of our success.
