Men's Basketball Head Coach Harley Fuller:

Mohawk Valley Community College appointed Harley Fuller of Gloversville, NY as Head Men's Basketball Coach in July of 2021.

Over the course of Coach Fuller's first 2 seasons at the helm, the Hawks have compiled a combined 42-15 record (74% winning percentage) including an NJCAA National Tournament Berth and NJCAA Elite 8 appearance in 2022. The Hawks season and national title run ended in the NJCAA Elite 8, with a loss to #1 overall seed, and national runner-up Sandhills College. 

In his short time in Utica, Coach Fuller has coached and developed back to back NJCAA All American Selections, an NJCAA Region 3 Player of the Year, a Mountain Valley Conference Player of the Year, and 7 All NJCAA Region 3 Selections. The 2022-2023 season saw the Hawks win an outright Mountain Valley Conference Championship, as well as earn the #1 overall seed in region 3. In addition to stringing together 21 straight wins and a 27-5 overall record, Coach Fuller helped move 9 student athletes onto NCAA four year schools for the 2023 season.

Prior to his time at Mohawk Valley, As Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach and Director of Player Development at Siena, Fuller helped guide the team to a 20-10 campaign in 2020, including a perfect 14-0 mark at home, highlighted by a MAAC Regular Season and Tournament Championship, receiving an automatic bid to the 2020 NCAA Tournament, which was canceled due to COVID-19. He also helped lead the program to 17 wins in 2019, tied for most in the MAAC, and the team’s overall nine-win improvement was tied for the 11th best turnaround nationally. The 2021 season at Siena was more of the same on the sidelines for Coach Fuller. The Saints again secured a MAAC regular season title, before finally falling to Rick Pitino's Iona Gaels in the MAAC conference tournament. 

Throughout his coaching career, Fuller has led his teams to victory and worked to develop his players both on and off the court. At Siena College, Fuller recruited a host of talented players highlighted by the Saints starting backcourt of Jalen Pickett (MAAC Player of the Year), and Jordan King (All MAAC, All Soconn Selection).
