Spending nearly three decades as a head coach "On The Banks", Bob Reasso led the Rutgers men's soccer team to 13 NCAA appearances, including the 1990 national championship game, three Final fours, six league titles and coached 19 Scarlet Knight All-Americans. During his 29 seasons at Rutgers, Reasso compiled an overall record of 351-183-71, winning 10 or more matches in 21 seasons and reaching the 15-win mark seven times.
In 1990, building off a Final Four appearance from the previous season, Reasso was named NSCAA National Coach of the Year as he guided the Scarlet Knights to the national championship game that resulted in a penalty kick shootout. Rutgers ended the season at 20-3-2 as they knocked off previously unbeaten and No.1 ranked Evansville to reach the championship match. The Reasso-led Scarlet Knights also dominated top-ranked UCLA in the MetLife Classic and followed with 600 minutes of shutout soccer to close out the regular season. The 20 victories earned by the 1990 team under Reasso, which included a win over Penn State to claim its first Atlantic 10 title, still remain an RU record.
During his tenure, Reasso was the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year three times and Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year four times. In 2005, Reasso was honored as a "Loyal Son of Rutgers" - a distinction given to the most cherished individuals involved with the University, becoming only the sixth Scarlet Knights head coach who graduated from a university other than Rutgers to receive this distinction.
Currently the Athletic Director, Vice President for Athletics and head men's soccer coach at his alma mater, Pfeiffer University, Reasso was named the 2015 NSCAA Division II National Coach of the Year as the Falcons captured the Division II National Championship with a 25-0 record.
