Bridgewater College

Mike Maczko was introduced as the 16th head coach in Bridgewater men's basketball history in May 2024.

In Maczko's first year the Eagles tallied an overall record of 8-17 and just missed out on the ODAC Tournament. The campaign saw Aaron Oates grab his 500th career rebound and cross the 1,000 career point mark to mark the second straight season an Eagle earned both milestones.

Maczko comes to Bridgewater after most recently serving as an assistant coach at ODAC rival Randolph-Macon last season and brings in head coaching experience after serving as the head coach at Mercy College in New York.
 
Last season, Maczko assisted the Yellow Jackets to a 25-5 overall record with an impressive 15-1 mark in conference games as RMC finished atop the ODAC standings. The program finished the year No 7 in the D3hoops.com Top 25 poll after advancing to the third round of the NCAA Tournament.
 
Maczko assisted in recruiting for the program and helped tutor a trio of All-ODAC performers, including Daniel Mbangue who went on to claim a second team all-region selection by D3hoops.com and a second team spot on the NABC All-District listing.
 
Prior to the move to Ashland, Maczko joined the coaching staff at Baruch for the 2022-23 season where the Bearcats went 22-6 with a 12-2 record in the CUNYAC on their way to a conference championship and a trip to the NCAA Tournament.
 
Maczko stepped in to lead the program at Division II Mercy College before the start of the 2017-18 season. He took over a 2-25 program and won 10 games in his first season at the helm, which was just the second time in 20 years the program reached double digits in victories.
 
During his five seasons at Mercy, Maczko recruited and developed Kerwin Prince who was lauded as the program's first East Coast Conference Rookie of the Year in over 15 years and oversaw the development of Bryan Griffin to a First Team All-ECC selection and all-region honors. In the 2020-21 season, Maczko led the Mavericks to their first conference tournament appearance since 2016.
 
Maczko has assistant coaching stops on his resume at Post University, Georgia Tech (graduate assistant) and Johns Hopkins.
 
A former Division III student-athlete, Maczko played three seasons at Salisbury where he started all 77 games for the program. He was a team captain for his junior and senior campaigns and was named All-Capital Athletic Conference following his final season for his now former Randolph-Macon boss, head coach Josh Merkel. He began his collegiate playing career at Division I institution New Jersey Institute of Technology on a full scholarship where he averaged 12.5 minutes per game and had three starts. Maczko, the son of Terry Maczko, a long-time junior college coach in Maryland, played his high school basketball at Baltimore Catholic league power, John Carroll.
 
After his playing days at Salisbury, Maczko returned to his alma mater as a volunteer assistant to begin his coaching career. While serving as a coach at Johns Hopkins, Maczko played two seasons of semi-professional basketball for the Bay Area Shuckers of the American Professional Basketball League.
 
A 2012 graduate of Salisbury, Maczko has a bachelor's degree in communications and earned a master's degree in sport management from California University of Pennsylvania (now PennWest California).
