GREENSBORO, N.C. – Jesse DeLoof, freshly tabbed head coach of the Guilford College men's basketball team, was featured on The Q-Cast podcast, that was released on Tuesday, discussing coming to coach in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC), what about GC stood out from a fit standpoint, and
"keeping the standard of Guilford basketball," and more.
Announced as the 15
th head coach of the Quakers men's hoops team a week ago, DeLoof ventures south at the conclusion of a five-year stint as bench boss at his alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford. Overtaking the program, DeLoof transformed a Panthers program from one that won just a single game in 2019-20, to compete on the national stage with their first win in the NCAA Tournament in 22 years. Pitt-Bradford went 59-47 overall across four seasons under DeLoof's guidance, increasing their win total in each campaign, securing a winning record for the first time in a decade in 2024 then truly breaking through in 2025. The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Regular Season and Tournament Champions for the first time since 2003, Pitt-Bradford set the program-record for wins in a season going 24-4 overall and 14-2 in league play. The Panthers poured in 103.1 points per game in 2025, the third-most in the nation, while they also ranked third in steals with 14.1 per contest, achieving that with a plus-8.0 turnover margin. For his work, DeLoof was the AMCC Coach of the Year, D3Hoops.com Region 7 Coach of the Year, and a finalist for Hoop Dirt's National Coach of the Year honor.
