Jake Presutti is in his second year as the Director of Player Development and the Assistant Sports Performance Coach for the Eastern Michigan University men’s basketball and men’s golf programs.
Presutti and EMU Head Men’s Basketball Coach Rob Murphy have a Syracuse University connection. Murphy was an assistant coach for seven years at Syracuse before accepting the EMU head coaching position and Presutti was not only a player for the Orange men’s basketball program but also received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at SU.
Presutti joins the EMU program after working with the NBA’s Houston Rockets as an assistant in basketball operations. His duties for the Rockets included video breakdown as well as reports on all college and international draft eligible prospects and NBA trade targets.
“Jake’s basketball experiences will add immediate value in all aspects of our program,” Murphy said. “Jake is a tireless worker who has a bright future in the coaching profession.”
The 26-year-old Presutti, a native of Belmont, New York, was originally a walk-on at Syracuse before earning a scholarship in his senior year. He completed his bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Studies in 2008 and completed his M.A. in Instructional Design, Development and Evaluation in 2010.
Presutti worked as a support staff member in multiple national basketball trials beginning in 2007 and in 2009 he worked at the USA Basketball World University Games and the USA Basketball U-19 Trials. He also served time as the video coordinator for the Canadian Men’s National Team at the FIBA Americas in 2009.
He then returned to Syracuse as a graduate men’s basketball manager in 2009-2010 while completing his M.A. His duties at Syracuse included working closely with the coaching staff on opponent scouting reports, opponent film breakdown, assisting with practice sessions and assisting in preseason and postseason strength and conditioning.
Presutti attended Genesee Valley High School in Belmont, N.Y. where he played soccer, basketball and baseball as a prep. He won several awards in his basketball playing career, being named the 2004 Great Eight League Player of the Year, the 2004 Big 30 Player of the Year, was a third-team All-State selection and the 2004 Section V Most Valuable Player. His high school was the 2002, 2003 and 2004 Section V basketball champions and the soccer and baseball teams were Section V champions in 2003.
