In his six seasons as the head coach at Wesley College, Jerry Kobasa has rebuilt the program at his alma mater.  A long-time respected fixture in Delaware sports, Kobasa took a team that had just two winning seasons in 17 years before his arrival and taken them to the NCAA Tournament in each of the twice in the last three seasons.

Kobasa's teams have produced the school's three winningest Division III seasons, an All-American, a conference player of the year, two conference rookies of the year, four ECAC All-Star selections and eight all-region honors.  The Wolverines have had a first team all-conference player in five of his six seasons and his tenure also marks as the winningest six-year period in the program's DIII history.

His 2010-11 team was ranked as high as No. 2 in the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional rankings and reached the CAC Championship game for the third straight year.  Paul Reynolds and Darrell Johnson earned All-CAC honors and Reynolds was named all-region by D3hoops.com.  With 18 wins, the team tied the 2008-09 squad for the second most in the Division III era.  In the process, Kobasa was named the CAC Co-Coach of the Year.

The Wolverines continued their journey to the top with a Division III school record 19 wins and second straight NCAA Tournament appearance.  Wesley also featured the CAC Rookie of the Year in Paul Reynolds, who finished among the national leaders in field goal percentage and two All-CAC selections.

In 2008-09, the team posted 18 wins and Wesley's first conference championship in men's basketball in 21 years, resulting in the program's first bid to the NCAA Championships.  The Wolverines led the conference in scoring average, steals, turnover margin, assist/turnover ratio, offensive rebounds, and three-point field goals.  Rashawn Johnson was named the CAC Player of the Year after leading the conference in scoring and was named both all-region and All-American.

The 2007-2008 season marked the first year of play in the CAC for the Wolverines. The team finished with an impressive 9-7 mark in conference action and led the CAC in both steals and turnover margin. Under his tutelage, Rashawn Johnson earned first team all-conference and was named to a pair of all-region teams after finishing 16th in the nation in scoring.

In each of his first two seasons, Kobasa helped lead the Wolverines to consecutive trips into the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference (PAC) Tournament, including a trip to the finals in 2006, resulting in a bid to the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Southern Division Tournament that same year.

Kobasa compiled a 249-130 record in 16 years as a head coach at Sussex Tech (182-57) and Smyrna High School.
