2025-26 marks Sean Smileys fifth full season as head coach of the Fredonia State University mens basketball program. Under Smileys leadership, the Blue Devils have emerged as one of the most dynamic and efficient offenses in the SUNYAC (State University of New York Athletic Conference), creating a high-powered, fast-paced style of play that has progressively elevated the program.
In the 2024-25 season, Fredonia dominated the offensive side of the game, leading the SUNYAC in overall field goal percentage, three-point field goal percentage and assists per game, while finishing second in points per game. Smileys offensive system maximized the talents of his players, with seven Blue Devils ranking among the top 8 in the SUNYAC in 11 individual offensive categories. Notable standout performances came from All-Conference senior Brandon Kulakowski, who led the conference in scoring and ranked second in rebounding, and senior Aiden Proudfoot, who finished second in three-point field goal percentage. Smiley's ability to foster individual development while maintaining a team-oriented approach has been a key to Fredonias growth.
As head coach, Smiley has expanded the reach and reputation of the Fredonia State mens basketball program through strategic and inclusive recruiting efforts. He has successfully attracted student-athletes from across the United Statesincluding Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C.as well as internationally from England, Germany, Israel and Switzerland, bringing a diverse mix of talent and experience to the team. In addition to building a competitive roster, Smiley has prioritized academic excellence. The 2024-2025 academic year saw the Blue Devils achieve the highest team GPA in over 25 years of the program.

The schools all-time leading scorer and leader in three-point field goals upon graduation, Smiley helped his team to two Class AAAA District 10 championships, three Erie Metro League championships and three straight 20-win seasons.

Coach
"I am very proud to have my name attached to the EXACT Camps. I have been working with them for the past few years and feel like the EXACT folks do a great job. I have recruited several players I have identified from these camps and plan on continuing to do so in the future!"
Player
I wanted to let you know I committed to a school (Illinois Institute of Technology) and also thank you for the experience your camp gave me. I participated in 3 of your camps (freshman / sophomore / junior year of HS) and I in each one I learned something different. Although I didn't meet the coach from the school I am going during one of your camps, it is was because of the tools your camp gave me I was confident and knowledgeable enough to go through the process.
Before coming to your camp I didn't know where I would fit, but I knew I wanted to play in college. It was only through the interactions with coaches in your camp where I got a clear and honest picture of what my best bets were and provided me with the tools to navigate the process.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you and affirm what you probably already know which is you are doing a great job.
Coach
