Coach Cocci enters his fourth season as the Rutgers men’s and women’s throws coach in 2021-22. This is his sixth season with the program since joining the staff as a volunteer in 2017. This is also his 20th year

of coaching in track & field overall since beginning his career in the 2001-2002 season. His throwers have already rewritten the record books. The unit achieved 22 inclusions into the Rutgers All-Time top-10 performances in all throwing events, two school records, and several remarkable PR improvements.

Prior to Rutgers, Cocci had successful coaching stops at Arkansas State and Toms River High School North. He is a former two time All-Atlantic discus thrower at Fordham University.
