He has produced two All-Americans, one Academic All-American, three pre-season All-Americans, seven All-Region players, two conference Players of the Year, and seven All-Conference players in four years.

Last season, Coach Pasiak directed Onondaga to an overall record of 21-11, and a Mid-State record of 9-5. The Lazers qualified for the conference playoffs for the fourth straight year, and for the Region III tournament for the third straight year. They reached the Mid-State Championship game, and won two post-season contests for the first time since 1994. Onondaga also received honorable mention in the NJCAA Division III national poll and finished 10th nationally in scoring offense, the fourth consecutive year that they have finished in the top ten in that category.

In 2002-03, Coach Pasiak guided the Lazers to a final record of 23-7, the second best in school history. Onondaga’s regular season mark of 23-5 was the best ever at the school. The Lazers spent five weeks as an honorable mention selection in the NJCAA Division III national poll. They finished 12-2 in Mid-State play and qualified for the conference playoffs. Onondaga reached the Region III Division III quarterfinals and finished 8th nationally in scoring offense. For these accomplishments, Coach Pasiak was named the Region III Coach of the Year, and was also named the Mid-State Athletic Conference Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year.

In 2001-02, after starting 1-8 against one of Region III’s most demanding schedules, Coach Pasiak guided the team to 16 wins in their final 19 regular season games. The Lazers finished the season 18-13, 11-3 in Mid-State Athletic Conference play, and qualified for post-season play, reaching the Mid-State Championship game, and the Region III Division III quarter-finals. The Lazers also achieved notariety for their offensive outbursts, as they ended the season as the top scoring team in NJCAA Division III play. As a result, Coach Pasiak was recognized as the Mid-State Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, as voted on by the league’s coaches.

In Coach Pasiak’s first season, 2000-01, he took over the Lazers’ program just prior to the start of the school year. He inherited a team with only two returning players and minimal experience among the newcomers. After getting off to an 0-11 start, Coach Pasiak guided the team to a remarkable turnaround, as they won 12 of their last 17 regular season games, finished third in the Mid-State Athletic Conference, and qualified for the conference playoffs for the first time in several seasons.

At the collegiate level, Coach Pasiak served as the head coach at Herkimer County Community College for two years, from 1991 to 1993. His Herkimer team posted the second largest increase in victory total in Region III of the NJCAA for 1992-93, received honorable mention in NJCAA Division III national rankings, and ranked sixth nationally in scoring offense. Even more importantly, during his tenure, all of his senior student athletes completed their graduation requirements and either successfully transferred or secured employment in their respective fields of study. Also, many of his players had the opportunity to continue their careers at four year programs.

Coach Pasiak also served as an assistant under the late Jack Bruen at Colgate University, a Division I institution in Hamilton, NY. He also served four seasons as an assistant at Division III Utica College in Utica, NY, and has coached at several high schools in Central New York. Immediately prior to coming to Onondaga, he was the Athletic Director at Frankfort-Schuyler Central School, in Frankfort, NY.

Coach Pasiak is a 1984 graduate of Clarkson University, where he was a member of the basketball team. In addition to coaching the Lazers, he also serves as a Technical Assistant with the Perkins-VTEA program at Onondaga. He has been a featured speaker and staff member at several of the top basketball camps in the northeast. He is actively involved In Coaches vs. Cancer, a nationwide movement of basketball coaches leading the fight against cancer, and serves on the Board of Directors for the Basketball Coaches Association of New York.
