Mike Deane (born September 27, 1951) is an American college basketball coach who most recently was a men's assistant coach at James Madison University.[1][2] He retired at the end of the 2017 basketball season. He was previously head basketball coach at Wagner College and was relieved of his duties on March 1, 2010,[3] after which he took a two-year hiatus from the game. He had also held the head coach position at Siena College, Marquette University, and Lamar University.[4]

Deane is from Rockland County, New York, and attended Potsdam State University, where he was a small college All-American[3] and began his career as a coach in 1974. He later coached at Oswego State[5] and had his first Division 1 position at Michigan State University and his first job as head coach at Siena, from 1986 to 1994.[4] He recorded his 400th career victory on December 15, 2007 against the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.[5] He has coached three different Division I schools to the NCAA Tournament (Siena, Marquette, and Lamar). His Siena team upset Stanford in the 1989 NCAA Tournament in the first round of the East Region.[6]

Deane has produced two NBA products in his career (both at Marquette: Chris Crawford and Amal McCaskill).
