DR. BRIAN KING
President
The Cabrillo College Men’s Basketball Team begins the 2011-2012 season seeking
another championship in the Coast Conference South. They have won championships
in three of the last five years for the first time in Cabrillo’s history, but these will not be
the last for a program on the rise. Coach Tony Marcopulos has led the Seahawks to a
winning record in each of the last seven years with an emphasis on tough defense.
Good defense is all about effort, and the young men who play for Coach Marcopulos
play hard in every game. I am very proud of our student athletes, many of whom will go
on to study and play basketball at four-year colleges and universities. Go Seahawks!
DALE MURRAY
Director of Athletics
“Welcome to Cabrillo College Men’s Basketball. The 2011-2012 schedule brings
together some of the best basketball teams and players in Northern California. All of the
athletes have combined academic and athletic talent to bring you a level of competition
that exemplifies quality achievement under expert leadership. Enjoy the intensity of the
competition and keep in mind that Cabrillo College encourages both the participants and
spectators to conduct themselves in the true spirit of sportsmanship.”

H EAD C OACH
T ONY M ARCOPULOS
H EAD C OACH
12th Season
CSU Stanislaus B.A., 1987
University of the Pacific M.A.T., 1990
When Tony Marcopulos became Cabrillo’s head coach on April 3, 2000, he envisioned a
bright future for the Seahawk basketball program. His years of experience, first as a player
and then as a NCAA Division 1 assistant coach had prepared him for the task ahead: Taking
over a program that had been losing for the last two decades and turning it into a winner.
Eleven years later, the Cabrillo Basketball Program is thriving under Marcopulos’ direction.
His teams are successful both on the court and in the classroom. Plus, many former
Seahawks have continued their education and playing careers at 4-year schools.
Coach Marcopulos knows the important role community colleges play in the development of
young student-athletes. He also knows very well what Div. I programs across the country are
looking for in a student-athlete. His experience, knowledge, passion and work ethic have
made him an excellent addition to the Cabrillo College Athletic Department and an invaluable
asset to the men that he coaches.
AT CABRILLO
2007-2008 was a history making year. For the first time in school history the Cabrillo College
Men’s Basketball program won the Coast Conference South Championship outright. Since
Marcopulos’ arrival in 2000 the Seahawks have made the steady climb from what was one of
the worst California Community College basketball programs in the state. For eight
consecutive seasons the Seahawks have won 14 or more games. For nine consecutive
seasons the Seahawks have been .500 or better. The Seahawks have been to the playoffs in
nine of the last eleven years. Two of those eight appearances have been to the Regional
Finals. Since 2004 Marcopulos coached teams have finished no lower than third place in the
Coast Conference South Division. During the past five years, the Seahawks have finished no
lower than second with three Conference Championships and a combined conference record
of 47-13 during that time.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE
Marcopulos was a Division I Assistant Coach for 12 seasons (1988-2000). He began his
coaching career at the University of the Pacific (Stockton, CA), where he worked alongside
Head Coach Bob Thomason for 11 seasons. Then, he joined the men's basketball staff at the
University of Portland for the 1999-2000 season.
6
T ONY M ARCOPULOS
Coach Marcopulos has first-hand experience in building a basketball program. When he
joined Thomason in Stockton, UOP had enjoyed only one winning season during the previous
nine years. That quickly changed. During the next eleven years Pacific had eight winning
seasons. Those 11 seasons included many highlights; two separate 16 game winning streaks
(1997-1998), the 1997 Big West conference championship, the 1998 Big West Western
Division championship, the school's first NCAA tournament appearance in almost 20 years
(1997), the school's first ever NIT Tournament appearance (1998), and the second longest
home court winning streak in the country behind Kansas at 32 in a row (1998). Pacific also
boasted a 90% graduation rate over that same time period.
After the 1998-1999 season Marcopulos left Pacific for a similar position at the University of
Portland. Marcopulos joined Head Coach Rob Chavez’s staff in August of 1999. The Pilots (a
member of the WCC (West Coast Conference)) went 12-16 on the year. After nine months in
Portland, Marcopulos was hired as the new Head Coach at Cabrillo College in April of 2000.
PLAYING CAREER
Marcopulos is a native of the Bay Area and attended Amador Valley High School in
Pleasanton. As a point guard, he led the Dons to four league championships and a four-year
record of 89-10. Upon graduating high school in 1982, Marcopulos went on to Columbia
Junior College in Columbia, California (82-84) where he played for Bob Thomason and
recorded seasons of 17-14 and 27-7. He then accepted a basketball scholarship to attend
Carroll College in Helena, Montana (84-85) before following Coach Thomason to California
State University, Stanislaus (Turlock, CA) (85-87) where he helped lead the team to a
conference title and a Division III NCAA tournament berth in 1987.
EDUCATION
Marcopulos received his undergraduate degree in Physical Education from Stanislaus State
University. He later earned a Masters of Arts degree in Teaching (Physical Education) and a
secondary school teaching credential (Physical Education) from the University of the Pacific.
A member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, Tony lives in Aptos and has
two daughters Emma (5) and Sophia (3).

What Division 1 Coaches Are Saying About
Coach Marcopulos and Cabrillo Basketball
Stan Morrison
Athletic Director
UC Riverside
"The manner in which Coach Marcopulos
has improved the program year after
year at Cabrillo College does not surprise
anyone who has ever known him as a
coach and man. He has a plan and is
willing to pay a great physical and
emotional investment to see the plan
through to a championship conclusion. I
would have wanted my son to play for
Tony Marcopulos. I cannot pay him a
higher tribute."
Bob Thomason
Head Basketball Coach
University of the Pacific
"Tony (Marcopulos) was a great asset to
the University of the Pacific during his 11
years as my assistant (coach). He truly
understands the game of basketball, but
more importantly he understands the
players. Tony is a great communicator
which has helped him get the most out of
each and every player. Tony is also a
tremendous worker. He puts 100% into
everything he does. Whether it is
changing a flat tire in the rain or putting
together a game plan to beat
Georgetown, he is always working hard.
Most importantly, Tony is a great
person. He cares deeply about all his
student-athletes and wants to see them
succeed in basketball and in life.
Seth Greenberg
Head Basketball Coach
Virginia Tech University
"Tony Marcopulos is the total package.
He can teach, develop players, and is
committed to their fulfilling their academic
potential. He has the unique advantage
of having what it takes to help his players
play at the next level and has the
expertise to help them achieve their
goals."
Jamie Dixon
Head Basketball Coach
University of Pittsburgh
“Tony (Marcopulos) has been around a
successful team his entire career. He
has taken programs to heights never
before reached. Having known Tony
since he started at Pacific, I look for the
rise at Cabrillo College to continue.”

THE CABRILLO BASKETBALL EXPERIENCE
Cabrillo head basketball coach Tony Marcopulos was hired to lead the Seahawk program on April
3, 2000. In the eleven years, he has made significant progress in building a foundation for both
present and future success. Prior to beginning his 12th season, he discussed his thoughts
regarding Cabrillo College, his team, his program and just what can be expected:
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER TO BE SOME OF THE STRENGTHS OF THIS COLLEGE?
MARCOPULOS: The location of the campus and it’s close proximity to the beach obviously stand
out as tremendous assets to this college. Cabrillo, as an institution of higher education, is one of the
truly outstanding community colleges in the state of California. We have instructors here that are
committed to the growth and development of students. Lastly, Cabrillo is the kind of place where a
student-athlete can get an outstanding two-year education at an affordable cost, play intercollegiate
athletics and enjoy college social life in one of the most beautiful areas of the country.
WHAT WILL YOU PROMISE A STUDENT-ATHLETE IF HE COMES TO CABRILLO?
MARCOPULOS: What first comes to mind is what I will NOT promise. I will not ever promise a
recruit playing time....ever. They are promised zero minutes. They will earn whatever amount of
playing time they get.
However, there are some things that I’m willing to make promises about. First, I promise that they
will go to class each and everyday. Although I can’t guarantee that each player will graduate, I will
say that only one player who completed all four semesters with us failed to graduate. In my
eighteen years of collegiate coaching I have only coached four student-athletes who did not
graduate who finished their eligibility. I promise they will attend and be in an atmosphere that will be
conducive to attaining a degree.
Second, I promise they will be a much better player when they leave Cabrillo than when they came.
They will work harder on their game and be in better shape than they have ever been in their life.
They will be coached everyday.
Lastly, I promise they will be better people when they leave us than when they came. Not because
they are hanging around me everyday, although I do intend to have a very positive impact on their
life, but because I will surround them with teammates that are good people. It stands to reason that
if you are surrounded with good people, people of character, then that will impact you in a positive
way. Clearly, the opposite is true as well. Our teams are recruited based in large part on an
individual’s character.
Go to class, get better, be a better person. Other than that, I don’t make promises.
WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST STRENGTHS OF THE BASKETBALL PROGRAM?
MARCOPULOS: Our commitment to the development of our players is easily our biggest strength.
Student-athletes in this program will be challenged to excel in the classroom as well as on the
basketball court. We make every effort to ensure that our players receive the best college
basketball experience possible.
WHERE DOES CABRILLO RATE AMONG COAST CONFERENCE CONTENDERS?
MARCOPULOS: Our conference has traditionally been extremely competitive. The Coast
Conference South is perennially advancing several teams deep into the post conference
tournament championship. We will contend for the conference championship. Winning it and
advancing to the State Championship is our only goal.

Season Recaps Continued: The Marcopulos Era
2006-2007 SEASON
For the first time in school history the Cabrillo College Men’s Basketball team won the Coast Conference
Championship. The Seahawks finished the season with a 19-9 overall record and a 9-3 conference record. The
9-3 conference record earned the Seahawks a tie with Hartnell for a share of the Conference Championship.
Aaron Patterson was named the Conference MVP and First Team All-State. Chris Sharp was named to the
Second Team All-Conference with Aaron Pearson and Dom Dunham both earning Honorable Mention AllConference honors. The Seahawks were seeded 9th in Northern California and traveled to West Hills College in
Coalinga, CA for the first round playoff game. The Seahawks lost by two at the buzzer to end their history
making season.
2005-2006 SEASON
With an overall record of 14-14, Cabrillo finished the season with a record of .500 or better for the third-straight
year. Despite late season injuries, the Seahawks finished the season strong, winning 9 of their last 14
games. With a record of 7-5 in the very competitive Coast Conference South, Cabrillo earned a 3rd-place finish
behind only top-ranked West Valley College and #7 San Jose City College. A season-ending ankle injury to
point guard Jeff Scott was a critical blow in the middle of conference play. The Seahawks, who were tied for first
place at the time of his injury, were not able to maintain that same high level of play. Mike Scott, Jon
Fontenberry, and Aaron Patterson each earned All-Conference recognition. Once again the Seahawks were
one of the best defensive teams in the state, ranking 7th out of over 90 teams by allowing only 64.1 ppg.
2004-2005 SEASON
One of the Cabrillo basketball program's best seasons in a long time ended with the Seahawks having earned
17 victories, the most wins under Head Coach Tony Marcopulos. Cabrillo's winning percentage has improved in
each of the 5 seasons with Coach Marcopulos at the helm. For the 2nd time in 3 years the Cabrillo College
Seahawks played their way into the Nor Cal Regional finals before losing to top-ranked and eventual undefeated
state champion Fresno City College. The Seahawks finished the regular season ranked #10 in Northern
California and 20th in the state. Cabrillo finished 3rd in the extremely competitive Coast Conference South.
2003-2004 SEASON
For the first time in over a decade, the Seahawks finished the season with a winning record, 14 wins against
13 losses. However, budget cuts reduced the state tournament field from 64 participants statewide to only
32. The Seahawks would have been the 17th seed in Northern California and were therefore not included in
the field. This was the first time in Marcopulos' tenure that his team did not made the play-offs.
2002-2003 SEASON
The 2002-2003 season was a breakthrough season for the Seahawks. For the first time in California State
tournament history, the 28th seed advanced to the Regional Final as the Seahawks scored upset wins over
5th-seed Feather River College and 12th-seed Skyline College. The Seahawks finished with an overall record
of 15-18, the most Cabrillo wins since 1985. Their 62-55 win over San Jose City College was the first victory
over that school since 1970. All four sophomores continued their education and basketball careers at fouryear institutions. On the academic side, the team’s year-end GPA was 3.1.
2001-2002 SEASON
For the first time in school history the Seahawks made the playoffs in back-to-back seasons. The 17 wins in
the last two seasons are more wins than the previous 5 seasons combined. Myree Bowden, who was
selected First team All-Conference, was the first Cabrillo player to earn such honors in over 15
years. Bowden also signed with the University of the Pacific, the first Cabrillo College player to sign a
Division 1 scholarship in over 25 years.
2000-2001 SEASON
In his first campaign as head coach of the Seahawks, Coach Marcopulos was able to lead Cabrillo into the
playoffs for the first time since 1995. Cabrillo’s eight wins equaled the total number of wins during the
previous three seasons!
