The 2026-27 season finds Coach Tom Moriarty in his 29th season with the women’s
basketball team. The program has seen much success with his guidance, knowledge, and
consistent presence on the sidelines. His attention to detail and breadth of experience in the field
make him an irreplaceable asset to the SUNY Oneonta Women’s basketball program and the
Athletic department. Most recently, the Red Dragons reached the 2025-26 SUNYAC semi-finals,
naming Lidia Boucher to the SUNYAC All Conference team and Kayla Beaudoin as Rookie of
the Year.
A graduate of Brockport State, Moriarty has a basketball background that includes over
30 years of coaching at various levels. His greatest success came when coaching the Oneonta
High School girls’ varsity team. There he led Oneonta to three consecutive Section 4 Class B
titles (1997, 1998, 1999), New York State Public High School Athletic Association Titles in 1997
and 1998, and the State Class B Federation Title in 1998. During this stretch, Moriarty’s team put
together a string of 56 consecutive wins including an undefeated season in 1997-98. He has also
coached football, basketball, and track at Morris, Unatego, and Oneonta High Schools.
Moriarty lives in Oneonta and worked as a physical education teacher at Unatego Central
School where he retired after 35 years of service to the district.
