John Krikorian has been the Men's Basketball Head Coach at Christopher Newport University since June 14, 2010. He is just the fourth head coach in the program's 53-year history, and has led the Captains to remarkable success, including its first three Final Four appearances and first Division 3 National Championship in the 2022-2023 season.
The Captains defeated Mount Union in the 2023 title game in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to capture the school's first title in 55 seasons of CNU men's basketball. Krikorian's squads also advanced to the 2015-2016 Final Four in Salem, Va., as well as the 2018-2019 Final Four in Fort Wayne. In his tenure, Krikorian has led the Captains to nine NCAA Tournaments in 12 seasons, including the last seven tournaments. CNU is the only school in the nation to win at least one game in each of the last seven NCAA tourneys, and Krikorian now has a career mark in tournament games of 23-7.
