Quinnipiac assistant coach Tahar Sutton is leaving the program after two seasons, according to a team source.
Sutton — the former associate head coach at Pennsylvania’s Imhotep Charter High School — was with the Bobcats for two seasons, helping them win 44 games and win the program’s first-ever MAAC regular season title in 2023-24. He was also the head coach during the high school tenures of two past Bobcats, forwards JJ Riggins (2019-2024) and Elijah Taylor (2022-23).
“I’m just a basketball junkie,” Sutton said on December 10, 2022. “A coach at heart, always have been. Even when I didn’t know I was a coach, I was a coach.”
The Philadelphia native helped guide the Imhotep Charter Panthers to seven Philadelphia Public League Championship titles, including an 88-9 record over a three-year stretch, as well as heading the coaching staff for the Nike Elite Youth Basketball League’s Team Final 15U – 17U team.
With the loss of Sutton, Quinnipiac’s staff currently consists of head coach Tom Pecora, associate head coach Shaun Morris, assistant Bradley Jacks, director of basketball operations Jeff Robinson, director of player development Aaron Robinson and graduate assistant Nolan Meehan. The latter Robinson is still the only coach on staff who was hired after Pecora took over on April 13, 2023.
The Bobcats have yet to announce a potential replacement or coaching search.
