Meet the Coaches
Mike Murray is a former college basketball player turned elite-level coach who brings the same competitiveness, discipline, and work ethic from his playing days to every aspect of NYC Honor. A standout guard at St. Joseph's College in Brooklyn, Mike played college basketball as a transfer — competing at the collegiate level and learning what it takes to perform under pressure.
After his playing career, Mike transitioned directly into high-level college coaching. He served as Assistant Basketball Coach at the College of Saint Rose (2019–2023), an NCAA Division II program where he recruited nationally, developed game strategy, and helped guide college athletes through the demands of competitive basketball. He also spent 3 years as Assistant Varsity Basketball Coach at St. Francis Prep, one of New York City's premier high school programs.
Mike's basketball journey also included serving as Director of Skills at Hoop Group, where he trained and evaluated top talent at one of the nation's most respected basketball development organizations.
In August 2024, Mike joined the FDNY — carrying the same values of courage, service, and teamwork from the firehouse to the court. His unique combination of college playing experience, NCAA coaching expertise, and FDNY discipline is the foundation of NYC Honor.
