Chris Caputo

Chris Caputo is in his fourth season in charge of the George Washington Men's Basketball program. 

Caputo helped author GW’s best season in nearly a decade in 2024-25, culminating in the program’s first postseason bid in eight seasons with a trip to the College Basketball Crown. GW posted 20 wins in the regular season for the first time since 2015-16 and finished with 21 triumphs on the year, its most in nine years. 

Prior to being named head coach at GW, Caputo served as an assistant coach at the University of Miami and George Mason University, where he helped lead the Patriots to the 2006 Final Four. 

Originally from Elmhurst, N.Y., Caputo is a 2002 graduate of Westfield (Mass.) State University with a degree in finance and economics. He was a four-year letter winner as a point guard for the Division III Owls and served as captain and earned the team’s Outstanding Contributor Award as a senior. He is a 1998 graduate of Archbishop Molloy High School.

The quote you return to when thinking about community, culture & inclusion:

"Our job is to unite and inspire the GW community through the power of teamwork."
