The Total Tutor Neil Haley and Coach Karen Hall will interview Robert Morris  University Woman's Basketball Coach Sal Buscaglia

Robert Morris University women's basketball head coach Sal Buscaglia is entering his final season on the bench with the Colonials, 13 years after taking over and turning around the women’s basketball program. Since he has taken over, the women's basketball program has played in six national tournaments, won three Northeast Conference championships and earned playoff berths in 10 of his 12 seasons.

In 2014-15, Buscaglia led the Colonials to the conference championship game for the second straight season. RMU finished the year 18-15 overall and took third in in the NEC standings with a record of 13-5. A trio of Colonials earned post-season honors highlighted by All-NEC First Team selection Anna Niki Stamolamprou who averaged 15.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Freshmen Megan Smith and Mikalah Mulrain were named to the league’s All-Rookie Team.

 
Buscaglia returned the Colonials to the top of the NEC mountain in 2013-14, winning the regular season championship and the tournament title. It was the fourth regular season championship and third tournament title in Buscaglia’s reign. The feat earned him NEC Coach of the Year, while RMU earned a plethora of post-season hardware.
 
Artemis Spanou was named the NEC Player of the Year for the second season earning All-NEC honors for the fourth straight season after leading the league in rebounding once again. Under Buscaglia’s tutelage, Spanou blossomed into RMU’s all-time leader in points and rebounds and owns 10 RMU season or career records. Anna Niki Stamolamprou and Cassie Oursler were also named to the NEC All-Rookie Team, joining a long list of Colonial players to earn honors under Buscaglia.
