Alma Mater:	Keene State '74

One of the most successful coaches in the history of Division II basketball, Stan Spirou is entering his 28th season as head coach at Southern New Hampshire University in 2012-13. 

Spirou became the sixth coach in New England men's college basketball history to win 500 career games when the Penmen opened the 2010-11 season with a 76-65 win over Thomas College.  The winningest coach in the history of Penmen basketball as well as the winningest coach in New Hampshire history, Spirou owns a 522-279 career record and his winning percentage of .652 ranks among the active Division II leaders. He has recorded 14 20-win seasons and entering the 2011-12 season was one of only 11 active Division II coaches with at least 500 career victories.  His 522 wins place him second among active Northeast-10 coaches.

The 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1999 New England Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year, Spirou has averaged an impressive 19.3 wins per season and has led the program to 14 NCAA Tournament appearances, four NCAA Regional titles and six NECC Tournament championships. In addition, he was named the 1994 national Coach of the Year by Division II Bulletin.

From 1992 to 1995 Spirou guided SNHU to an impressive 84-15 record and three-straight appearances in the "Elite Eight" of the NCAA Tournament. Also during that span, SNHU became the first team in the history of the NECC to capture three-straight league tournament titles.

Well respected throughout New England, Spirou served as President of the New England Basketball Coaches Association from 1994 to 1996.

Spirou was named head coach at SNHU on July 2, 1985 and led the Penmen to a 24-7 mark in his rookie season. A year later he would earn New England Division II Coach of the Year honors after piloting SNHU to a 24-8 record and a NCAA Regional title.

Success has been the common denominator wherever Spirou has coached, first while building Manchester Central High School into a state power, and later as an assistant coach at SNHU under Tom Sullivan. Spirou compiled a four-year record of 80-22 at Central and led the Little Green to a pair of Class L state titles in 1979 and 1981 before joining Sullivan's staff in 1982. He was inducted into the Central High School Hall of Fame on September 25, 1998.

He earned a basketball scholarship to Keene State College, where he lettered two years for the Owls. He received his bachelor's degree in history from KSC in 1974 and later earned a master's degree in school administration from Antioch University in 1979.

An avid golfer, Spirou is also involved in numerous activities in the Manchester community. He is the director of the popular New Hampshire All-Star Basketball Camp which runs every summer at SNHU, and has also served as an honorary coach of the New Hampshire Special Olympics team. In addition, he holds free basketball clinics in his native country of Greece every summer.

A resident of Manchester, he was inducted into the Queen City Athletic Hall of Fame in 1995.   He was also named to the New England Basketball Hall of Fame in October, 2009 and will be inducted into the AHEPA Hellenic Athletic Hall of Fame in July, 2011.  He and his wife Patricia, a marketing professor in the University's School of Business, have three children. Twin daughters Kelly and Christina are graduates of the University of New Hampshire, while Chuck is a graduate of SNHU.
