For the second time this week, a Patriot League head swimming & diving coach has resigned. This time, it was Dan Schinnerer of Bucknell who has led the Bison for the last 20 seasons. He is officially leaving the program mid-July for a role as a senior coach with the Nation’s Capital Swim Club, the largest USA Swimming club in the country.
He follows Army head coach Brandt Nigro, who left his post for an associate head coach job with the University of Texas women.
Schinnerer leaves the program as the longest-tenured women’s swimming and diving coach and second-longest tenured men’s coach. He has career dual meet records of 121-58-1 on the women’s side and 100-80 on the men’s side, which are the most and second-most in program history for those teams, respectively.
“Twenty years goes by very quickly, and I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to be part of Bucknell University and the Bucknell swimming and diving family,” said Schinnerer. “It is a special place and a special program. Bucknell was very good to my family and me, but at this stage of our lives this new opportunity presented itself, and we believe it will be best for us moving forward. I am thankful for all the people I have had the chance to work with here. I hope I have made a positive difference in people’s lives while helping them learn and grow through sport.”
The men’s and women’s teams combined for 11 runner-up finishes in the deep Patriot League during Schinnerer’s reign (four men, seven women), and he was named the Patriot League Coach of the Year five times:
2008 – men 2010 – men 2013 – women 2020 – women 2022 – menDan Schinnerer swam collegiately at Yale and was an assistant coach at Michigan before being hired as the head coach at Bucknell.
Schinnerer’s wife Lesia was a star college tennis player at the Peddie School and the University of Richmond, and is in both schools’ athletics Halls of Fame. Their two sons Erik and Kase are both now highly ranked youth tennis players.
What has been an almost historically-slow year on the coaching carousel, especially at the highest levels of the sport, has seen some late action. So far, head coaching changes have come at Brown (Mitch Dalton hired), Cincinnati (Joey Ferreri promoted), Youngstown State (Hannah Saiz hired), Illinois State (Ryan Evans hired), Providence (still vacant), Army (still vacant), and now Bucknell, there has been a lot of shifting around on lower rungs of the ladder.
