Dick Whitmore enters his 33rd year as head coach at Colby with 531 victories and 252 defeats. He ranks fifth in career wins among all active Division III coaches and is expected to move into the top 10 in career victories for Division III coaches this upcoming season. A 1965 graduate of Bowdoin, Whitmore has accumulated 26 winning seasons and his Colby teams have reached the post-season 21 times. Honored as Coach of the Year in Maine six times (1973, 1975, 1981, 1995, 1997, and 2001), Whitmore was inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame in 1998 and in the inaugural class of the New England Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002. Whitmore also is co-director of the Pine Tree Basketball Clinic for younger players, held on the Colby campus each summer.

T.J. Maines '95 begins his fifth year coaching with the program. Blessed with strong knowledge of the program, T.J. adds a great sense of enthusiasm to the team. An avid recruiter, T.J. 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. Along with Dick Whitmore, Mitchell was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame in 2002.

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.
