Head Coach Bill Raleigh
Raleigh is in his 13th season as head coach of the Southwestern University men's basketball program. Bill Raleigh has built the Pirates into a tough competitive ball club that has finished as high as 3rd in the SCAC in his tenure.

The 2004-2005 season has been the highlight of his tenure. Producing the school's best-ever record at 11-3 in SCAC play along with a career high 20 wins (20-7), the men's basketball team entered the SCAC tournament as the No. 1 seed for the first time ever. He captured another well-deserved SCAC Coach of the Year honors, while coaching Aaron Bowser to SCAC Player of the Year. Bowser not only received SCAC POY but was also the first-ever Southwestern basketball player to be honored, as well as garnering First Team All-SCAC, along with being selected as a National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Third-Team All-American. Raleigh has produced 9 All-SCAC selections and 16 All-SCAC honorable mention picks. Raleigh has also coached two 1,000 point scorers, the first players to record this achievement at Southwestern. Aaron Bowser and Robert Cates both scored their 1,000 point in the 2004-2005 season. The Pirates have finished in third place in the SCAC two times (the 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 seasons) under Raleigh and advanced to the SCAC Conference Tournament championship game in 2009.

Raleigh came to Southwestern after spending three years as the head men's basketball coach and head golf coach at the University of Dallas (1996-1999). Before his first head coaching position he was an assistant coach for a number of years at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, VA, as well as an assistant at Washington & Lee in Lexington, VA.

Raleigh graduated from Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA in 1988 with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration. Four years later, he received his Juris Doctor Degree from Seton Hall University's School of Law.

A native of Colts Neck, NJ, Bill now resides in Georgetown with his wife Maureen and two daughters.

Coach Cook joined Southwestern in the fall of 2007 where he serves as assistant coach for the men's basketball and men's and women's golf teams.  Prior to coming to SU, Coach Cook was the Assistant Men's Basketball Coach at the University of Texas at Dallas for five seasons. He also volunteered at SU during the 1999-2001 seasons.  Coach Cook spent 29 years teaching and coaching in Texas public schools. He has a Master's Degree from Prairie View A&M University and a Bachelor's Degree from Southwest Texas State University. Cook and his wife Jean reside in Round Rock.
