(Fordham has not, as of yet, announced a replacement, either on an interim or a full-time basis.) The two-time Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year hasn\u2019t even had to leave the borough, going from Division I to the Division III SUNY outfit in Throggs Neck.

He was named Atlantic 10 women\u2019s coach of the year in 2008-09 and 2009-10. He led Fordham <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/atlantic-10-championships-day-four-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">to its first A-10 swimming title in 2010<\/a> and the university\u2019s first Atlantic 10 championship in any women\u2019s sport, unseating then eight-time reigning champion Richmond. That year also brought the best finish for the Rams men\u2019s team in fourth.<\/p>\n<p>Potsklan coached 51 Atlantic 10 and four ECAC champions. That includes 2012 NCAA Championships and U.S. Olympic Trials qualifier <strong>Brienne Ryan<\/strong> and 2020 Atlantic 10 Championships Most Outstanding Swimmer, <strong>Amelia Bullock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Potsklan also spent five years as an assistant coach at Yale before coming to Fordham.
