Currently the head coach of Lesley University, Rocco joined the Lynx in its inaugural season in 2011. Rocco was named New England Collegiate Conference Coach of the Year following the 2012 campaign.

Before arriving to Lesley, the Tewksbury native spent the 2009-2010 seasons at Daniel Webster College in Nashua, NH. Rocco served as the Assistant Coach and Recruiting Coordinator for the Eagles, under current Silver Knights manager JP Pyne.
