Career
Brian Riley made his debut at the college ranks as a freshman for Brown in 1979. While the team didn"t enjoy much success in his four years there, Riley was able to use the experience to begin a college coaching career a year after graduating in 1983 when he became an assistant at State University of New York-Plattsburgh. After three seasons Riley jumped up to the Division I ranks with Lowell but remained at the job for only one season.
Since taking control of the team Riley has led the Black Knights through a relatively stable period in the program"s history, having remained in the same conference for at least his first ten seasons and even producing a conference regular season title in 2007-2008 (Army"s first).
