Stan Kaminski Coach Kaminski, as he will always be known, had a thirty-six year career as a softball coach, baseball coach, football coach, and, more importantly, both as boys and girls basketball coach. He coached at both Ramapo and Indian Hills during his career and, so proficient was he at his trade, that for one year he also served as athletic trainer. Stan began his career at Bloomfield High School (1957), where he played baseball and basketball. However it was in basketball that he made his name. Legendary coach George Cella called Stan one of the top five players he ever coached. In Stan’s senior year the team went 26-0 and was named Group 4 State Champions. Stan received All-League, All-County, and All-State honors by both the Star Ledger and The Daily News. Stan continued his basketball career at Albright College where he was a four-year starter. After graduation in 1961, Stan began his coaching career at Springfield College. As freshman coach, he led his team to a 15-5 record. Then, in 1962, he began a thirty-six year career at Ramapo-Indian Hills as a Social Studies teacher and coach. Starting as an Assistant Boy’s basketball coach, then Head Coach, Stan’s overall record was 238-197 with an impressive six NBIL Championships. For seventeen of those years he was also an Assistant football coach and for 21 years a girl’s softball coach. His record as a softball coach was 258-210 and he won six more NBIL Championships; then in 1978 he won the County Championship as well as the Group 3 Championship. Having taught at both schools (Ramapo from 1963-1990 and Indian Hills from1990-1993), Stan retired from teaching but not from coaching. From 1993-1996 he was Head Girl’s Basketball Coach at Ramapo, where his teams participated in both the County Tournament and State Tournament in ’95 and ’96. Stan then left Ramapo, but he wasn’t done coaching. From 1997-1999 he coached the Girl’s basketball team at Indian Hills. No one knows exactly how many victories that Stan Kaminski had in his career, but between the combined 500-plus boys basketball and girl’s softball victories and those from all of the other teams, it is probably close to 1000. Retired and living with his wife Genevieve in Kennebunk, Maine, the Kaminski’s have eight children; Andrew, Genevieve, Peter, Catherine, Matthew, Barbara, Stephen and Elizabeth.
