| Transcript | THE METROPOLITAN INTERCOLLEGIATE BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION PETER A. CARLESIMO, Executive Director During Pete Carlesimo's tenure as Executive Director of the National Invitation Tournament, the NIT has enjoyed its most wide ranging popularity and success. A nationally-known toastmaster and speaker in the United States and Canada, Carlesimo was one of the best known athletic directors in the country during his ten years at the helm of Fordham's athletic department. Carlesimo is the past president of the ECAC and has held a variety of positions in prestigious organizations and committees. The Newark, New Jersey, native played football at Fordham in the glory days of the "Seven Blocks of Granite." After initially coaching football at his alma mater, St. Benedict's Prep, he moved to the University of Scranton where he coached football for 14 years as well as basketball and cross country. In 1968, he returned to Fordham to serve as athletic director. Pete Carlesimo has been at the helm of the NIT for nine years, although this will be his last as the NIT's fulltime Executive Director. However, Carlesimo will be continuing his ever popular after dinner speaking engagements. JOHN W.

A three-sport letter- man during his days at St. John's, Kaiser joined the coaching staff at his alma mater in 1952, assisting in both baseball and basketball. In 1956, he took over as head baseball coach, a position he held for 18 years. His teams won six Metropolitan Baseball Conference championships and were invited to 11 NCAA Regional playoffs, winning their way to the College World Series three times.
