Rocco Constantino is in his third year at the helm of the Deacons program and looks to continue to build on the success he has had here during his first two years. Although a tough finish to the 2008 season kept the Deacons from meeting their preseason goals, BC still won 19 games, which was the second highest total they have had since becoming an NCAA member (surpassed only by the 21 wins in Constantino's first season). Constantino's Deacons have won 40 games in his two years as Head Coach.
As Bloomfield's coach in 2007, Constantino led the Deacons to a record breaking season which saw them finish 14-8 in CACC play and 21-19 overall after compiling a record of 29-98 the previous three seasons.
In Constantino's two years as Head Coach, he has coached the only two players to be named all First Team Northeast Region (Mallorie Mathews in 2007 and Brianne Moore in 2008) and has coached players who recieved All-CACC honors 4 times. Constantino also serves as the CACC representative on the Northeast Region Softball Committee.
Previously, Constantino coached high school softball in North Jersey for 10 years. As an assistant to Carl Corino at Belleville and John Galante at North Arlington, Constantino had the benefit of learning the game from two of the most respected coaches in New Jersey High School history. Corino and Galante combined for over 850 wins in their careers and numerous sectional and county championships. Constantino started as an assistant to Corino at Belleville High School in 1996 and stayed on the staff through 2001. He was an assistant on the 2001 team which won the North Jersey Group 4 championship. After 2001, Constantino accepted a teaching job at North Arlington High School where he became Galante's assistant.
