  1. The question posed to Vic Trilli seven years ago struck him as odd. Interviewing for the athletic director job at Newman, Trilli, then the athletic director at Garden City Community College, answered in the best way he could. “They wanted to know, if I took the job, if I was even going to move to Wichita full-time,” Trilli said. “And I think that kind of was indicative of the state things were in at the time (at Newman). “I just said ‘Hey, if I’m here, I’m in. Like, I’m all in.’” Trilli has been that and more since he took the job at Newman in Sept. 2008, overseeing the school’s transition to NCAA Division II and a run of success from the school’s signature progams — men’s and women’s basketball — that has spread to other sports. For his efforts, Trilli was rewarded with a second, five-year contract that begins July 1 with the added position of Vice President of Student Affairs. It follows similar deals struck at Wichita State for Eric Sexton and at Friends for Carole Obermeyer. Before Trilli was hired, Newman went through five athletic directors in six years. “There wasn’t a lot of trust between the coaches and the athletic director,” Trilli said. “And that was understandable.” The new contract comes after — and in part because — Trilli applied for the open athletic director spot at Hutchinson Community College this spring, which triggered a social media movement among student-athletes using the hashtag #AthletesForTrilli. “That made me a little nervous, because I didn’t understand quite where it was coming from,” Trilli said. “And ultimately, I have to answer to (Newman President) Noreen Carrocci about my job and anything that has to do with me. The Hutch job was intriguing because of the construction on the Sports Arena, hosting NJCAA Tournament and the support of the community … that’s big-time.

  2. DENVER Newman University vs. Midwestern State just call it the Trilli Bowl. In one corner, we have Jon Trilli, a graduate assistant coach at MSU. In the other corner, we have Vic Trilli, the athletic director at Newman and also Jons dad. Jon Trilli sat near the end of the bench on MSU teams that went to the Elite Eight in 2010 and 2011. Vic Trilli sat near the end of the bench on two Midwestern teams that made it that made it to the NAIA national tournament in Kansas City in 1974 and 1975, including a runner-up finish his senior year. Its a father vs. son matchup in the opening round of the NCAA Division II South Central Regional, which tips off here on Saturday. When they announced the pairings Sunday night, I said, youre kidding me. I looked at my wife and said that cant be, Vic said. Its exciting for us to make the Division II national tournament for the first time, but couldnt we play Tarleton or Cameron? Anybody but Midwestern. It is going to be fun, Jon said. Family rivalries are great, and this is for bragging rights for a whole year. Jon has followed in his dads footsteps. Not only did both play sparingly on some really good Midwestern teams, they also both became graduate assistants after their playing days ended. Trilli went on to become a full-time assistant for Gerald Stockton and recruited some talented players to his alma mater. From MSU, Vic became head coach at Lon Morris junior college, and then an assistant under Tom Penders at the University of Texas. He was head coach at North Texas before becoming an AD at Garden County Community College and now at Newman.
