St Bonaventures Head Coach For Men’s Basketball – Announces Retirement

March 7. 2026

FROM ST BONAVENTURE UNIVERSITY: St. Bonaventure head men’s basketball coach Mark Schmidt will retire at the conclusion of the 2025-26 season, he announced today after the Bonnies game with Davidson at Reilly Center.

“I’m a lucky guy. To be able to be the head coach at St. Bonaventure for 19 years is an honor,” Schmidt stated. “When I first got the job, I remember someone telling me I was going to be here for three or four years and then I was going to be selling insurance. I give Steve Watson and Sister Margaret Carney all the credit in the world that they took a chance on me 19 years ago. A guy who was 82-90 at Robert Morris and they allowed me to coach, they allowed us to build a program, and I think it was a pretty good one.”
