Who is the Guru

Nelson Schorr is entering his ninth year at Ursuline College and continues to guide the program to new heights. In 2009-10, he coached a team that featured the top single-season scorer in program history - Brittany Nair, who averaged 18.2 point per game and scored 546 total points.

In 2007-08, the team made the conference playoffs for the first time in program history and set many school records. Some of those records were: most three point shots made in a season at 215, highest scoring average at 76 points per game, ranked eighth nationally in rebounds per game (43.9), ranked 12th nationally in three point shots made per game with 7.9, and ranked 16th nationally for points scored per game with 76.

The program, under Coach Schorr, has seen a dramatic improvement in a short time with the fast-breaking style that the team is now noted for. Win totals have gone up from 2 to 15 as well as scoring average from 50 points per game to the current school best 76 points per game over the last 5 years. Coach Schorr has also started a J.V. team which plays a 10-15 game schedule against local area programs.

Prior to coming to Ursuline, Coach Schorr was the Head Coach at SUNY Potsdam from 2000-2003. In addition to his duties as the basketball coach, he is also the Director of Intramurals. He resides in Medina with his wife Sharon, son Josh who is 17 and the new additions, twins, Trey and Sydney.
