Phil Sinkovich Classic Named in Honor of UC Clermont's First Basketball Coach
UC Clermont College will host the First Annual Phil Sinkovich Basketball Classic on November 20-21. The Sinkovich Classic marks the first classic the mens basketball program has hosted - being named in honor of the colleges first mens basketball coach.
We wanted to recognize Phil as the first mens basketball coach at UC Clermont by naming the classic in his honor. We will also be inviting our basketball alumni back for this tournament, said Athletic Director Brian Sullivan.
Sinkovich started the basketball program at UC Clermont College in 1990 and was head coach for 12 years with a record of 251-121. His teams were Ohio Regional Campus Conference (ORCC) Champions in 1995, 1997 and 1998 and ORCC Runners-Up in 1994, 1996, 2000 and 2001. During those years, he also served as the colleges athletic coordinator. Sinkovich was instrumental in growing the athletic program from just tennis and mens basketball to womens volleyball, women's basketball, softball and golf. He is a 1969 graduate of Mount Saint Marys College, Md. and received his masters degree from Washington College, Md.
Sinkovich also served as an assistant basketball coach at Adrian College, Mi., head basketball coach at Owens College, Toledo and was a teacher and head basketball coach at Anderson High School. For the past 13 years, Sinkovich worked as a district administrator in the Forest Hills School District before his retirement.
