Frequently Asked Questions…..
1 - Where will Camp activities occur?
The camp is hosted on the campus of The College of Saint Rose. All
our activities are indoors, and our new Daniel P. Nolan Gymnasium is
air-conditioned. The gym is located at 420 Western Avenue, Albany NY
12203.
Day Campers can be dropped off at 420 western Avenue, Albany NY.
Our Overnight Campers will reside in Lima Hall on our campus at
366 Western Ave. The best bet for parking and unloading for
Overnight Camp is 921 Madison Ave, Albany. Once you pull into the lot
you will see Lima Hall directly in front of you. You’d enter the building
by going around to the left. Parking & unloading there will be much
easier than on Western Ave. Lima Hall has 24hour Security in the
Main Lobby and we have members of our Coaching Staff on each floor.
Our air-conditioned Dining Hall is connected to our air-conditioned
gymnasium, as is our air-conditioned Camelot Room, the college’s
snack bar. Our break room, Room A is also air conditioned as well,
and that’s located all in the same complex.
The College of Saint Rose is conveniently located minutes from I-90, I787 and I-87 as well as the NYS State Office Campus and downtown
Albany.

Brian Beaury, the Head Men’s Basketball Coach at The College of Saint
Rose founded both the Girls and Boy’s camps in 1986 and has directed
every phase of the program since. Coach Beaury is present every day
and night of the Camp. He personally hires all the staff each week.
Camp staff is made up of adults paid for their Basketball Expertise.
The camp staff is the backbone of our program. Coach hires a
combination of College Coaches, High School Coaches, Professional
Players as well as College Players who aspire to coach basketball at
the highest level possible. We do not hire junior counselors, CIT’s, or
volunteers. Our staff must go through a NY State Dept. of Social
Services background check each summer before they can work at the
camp. Meet Coach Beaury:

Day Campers should dress ready to play basketball each day before

Head Coach

Email: beauryb@strose.edu
One of the most decorated and affluent college basketball coaches in the
country, Brian Beaury has steadfastly developed a program that garners the
utmost of respect from every corner, on every level of the game throughout his
25 years at The College of Saint Rose. Beaury, who is a member of two Halls of
Fame, has continually left an indelible impression upon a group of young men
whose predecessors not only continually surpassed all expectations, but also
provided the College an avenue for national recognition.
“We have been very fortunate to have had great coaches and great players
throughout the years. We have found a formula that works for us at Saint Rose.
One of our goals is to attract players who will fit in with the rest of the College’s
student body and who are poised to develop as students, people and as players.
We want to develop a relationship where we’ll be their coach for four years and
their friends forever,” says Beaury.
Beaury, who became just the 34th NCAA Division II head coach to reach the
500-win plateau in 2008-09, has an uncanny ability to instill his knowledge of the
game into his student-athletes’ performance. His teams have won an average of
nearly 21 games during the last 15 campaigns and have posted at least 20 wins
on eight occasions throughout that span.
Saint Rose won five consecutive regular-season East Coast Conference
(formerly the NYCAC) titles, prior to its entrance into the Northeast-10
Conference 11 years ago, and has been awarded 12 NCAA Tournament bids in
its 20 years competing exclusively at the NCAA Division II level. Saint Rose has
compiled a 431-181 (.704) record during that time and has captured three NCAA
Tournament Northeast Regional Championships on the way to three “Elite Eight”
appearances and a trip to the “Final Four” in 1998. Furthermore, the Golden
Knights advanced to the ECAC Championship Tournament in four of their nonNCAA Tournament years and came away with titles in both 1993 and 2001.
Beaury has furthermore established the Golden Knights as a traditional power
within the NE-10, which has sent at least five teams to the NCAA Tournament in
seven of the past eight seasons.
The 49-year-old mentor has compiled a 539-227 (.703) career record, has
earned Coach of the Year plaudits on five separate occasions and was
nominated for National Coach of the Year in 1989 when the program was still
part of the NAIA. He was furthermore inducted into the New York State
Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame in the spring of 2010. Two years ago, Saint
Rose honored him by inducting him into its Athletics Hall of Fame.
Beaury stood eighth among the nation’s most successful NCAA Division II
coaches in terms of victories entering this season. Additionally, his teams have
qualified for postseason play in each of his 25 seasons and have won eight
conference titles. Saint Rose has also played on national television, has had just
one losing season under his tutelage and has won at least 19 games throughout
21 of his 25 years on the bench.
Impressive stuff indeed; but when you’re intelligent, committed, and an
outstanding recruiter in addition to being a student of the game; good things are
bound to come your way.
Beaury, who was Eastern Basketball’s 1998 small college Coach of the Year, is
in high demand on the lecture circuit. He has spoken at clinics throughout the
world including the renowned Eastern Invitational and Five Star Basketball
Camps.
Beaury has also guided several college All-Star teams on summer tours
throughout the world in recent years. He has coached college players on visits to
Greece, Turkey, Spain, Cuba, Germany, Dominica, Montserrat, and Antigua to
mention a few. He has also guided the Golden Knights on team trips to Spain,
Italy, Cuba, Australia, and Fiji. This past summer, Saint Rose toured the Baltic
countries of Latvia and Lithuania where they played seven games throughout a
two-week period.
A native of Queens and one of six children, Beaury played high school basketball
at St. Agnes before heading to Saint Rose where he was a four-year letterwinner.
He was also the recipient of the College’s 1996 Distinguished Alumni Award.
The three-time captain still ranks among the school’s top-10 career leaders in
both assists and steals. A two-time All-Conference selection who was the team’s
Most Valuable Player as a senior, Beaury entered the collegiate coaching ranks
at the tender age of 21 when he landed the assistant’s position at the Junior
College of Albany in 1982. Beaury then returned to his alma mater in 1984 and
two years later was named the College’s second head coach. The rest you now
know about.
Beaury also directs his own successful youth basketball camp every summer at
the College. He was the founder of the Saint Rose Summer Sports Academy and
is also the founder of the aforementioned New York State Basketball Coaches
Association Hall of Fame.
Furthermore, Beaury was actively involved with the development office as cochair of two different capital campaigns for Saint Rose.
Beaury earned both his bachelor’s degree in business administration and his
master’s in education from Saint Rose. He is taking a break from his M.B.A.
studies at the College so he may spend more time with his family. He resides in
Cohoes, NY with his wife, the former Mary Ann Grennon (Saint Rose ‘82), also a
member of the Saint Rose Athletics Hall of Fame, and their three children;
Alexandra, Brian and Benjamin.
