Thomas Weiler

Tom Weiler joined Waynesburg University as assistant men’s basketball coach and equipment manager for the Department of Athletics in the summer of 2023.

Weiler came to Waynesburg after two years as head coach at Sussex County College in Newton, New Jersey. Weiler inherited a Skylander team coming off an 0-9 season during the 2020-21 COVID 19-shortened campaign and led them to a 6-15 mark in 2021-22. The notable improvements continued this past winter, when Sussex County CC went 13-15 and qualified for the NJCAA North Atlantic District tournament for the first time since 2009, after ranking in the top three nationally in points allowed.

Weiler was particularly proud that all five of the sophomores on his team graduated and went on to continue their educations, with three of them competing at the NCAA Division III level.

Prior to his two years with the Skylanders, Weiler spent the 2020-21 school year as the assistant varsity/head freshman boys basketball coach at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Edison, New Jersey. His professional experiences also include coaching in the AAU ranks with United NJ 16U team as a head coach, as well as serving in a player development role with the 15U, 16U and 17U programs.

Current head coach Tim Fusina is very familiar with Weiler, as he recruited and coached him at Centenary from 2015 to 2017. During Weiler’s time with the Cyclones, he appeared in 97 games and started 72 of them, despite playing in just three games due to injury during the 2017-18 campaign. He was a three-year team captain and a two-time All-Colonial States Athletic Conference (CSAC) selection, including a second-team pick in 2020.

Weiler was also a standout in the classroom and was selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Honors Court following his senior season. He concluded his time at Centenary by being selected as the Co-Male Cardy Gemma Award Winner. The Cardy Gemma Award recognizes a senior who has used up their eligibility and achieved success in their sport along with academic success and contributions in the community.

Weiler graduated from Centenary University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education with TOSD and mathematics education in 2020.
