"I am so pleased to name Mike Perno the new head coach of the men's basketball
program at Saint Rose," said former Saint Rose President Carolyn J. Stefanco at
the time of his appointment. "Coach Perno embodies Golden Knights athletics, from
his quiet confidence on the bench to his emphasis on academics and service to others
off the court. As a former player at Saint Rose, he has great respect for what
it means to be a Golden Knight, a bond that extends a lifetime as evidenced by the
relationships he's continued with his former teammates and the players he coached
during his years as an assistant. The Northeast-10 Conference is a highly respected,
competitive league, and Coach Perno will meet that high standard as our program's leader."

Perno earned a Bachelor's degree in elementary education in 2000. He is in his 15th
season overall after serving as an assistant coach throughout the previous 12 years,
although he did handle the program's day-to-day duties in 2014-15 and 2017-18, which
Beaury missed due to medical reasons.

The Golden Knights have benefited greatly by Perno's presence on the bench. Saint
Rose has garnered five NCAA Tournament berths, including an East Regional Final
(Sweet 16) appearance in 2016-17, and has advanced to a pair of Northeast-10 Conference
Championship semifinals while making a run to the 2007 league title game during his tenure.

While a student at Saint Rose, Perno was a two-year starter after transferring from
Monmouth University. Both of those Golden Knights teams reached the NCAA Tournament,
including the 1998-99 NCAA Northeast Regional Championship squad that advanced to the
"Elite Eight" before losing a heartbreaker to Truman State, 106-101, in triple overtime.
Perno started 32 games that season, connected on 91, 3-pointers and averaged 12.7 points
and 3.2 assists.

In his two years of action, Perno played for teams that finished with a combined 47-15
record. He started 30 games in his final season, contributing 13.9 points and 2.9 assists
while converting 87, 3-pointers.
