Tom Parrotta is the assistant coach for the Quinnipiac University men's basketball program in Hamden, Connecticut, joining head coach Tom Pecora's staff in May 2026 after more than 30 years in college coaching.
Parrotta arrived at Quinnipiac following a second stint at Hofstra, where he worked on Speedy Claxton's staff. In 2025-26, Hofstra won 24 games and captured the CAA championship to earn the program's first NCAA tournament berth since 2001. His return to Quinnipiac also reunited him with Pecora, with whom he previously coached for eight seasons across two schools. Parrotta served under Pecora at Hofstra from 2001 to 2006 and again at Fordham from 2012 to 2015, including work as Fordham's recruiting coordinator.
