Salerno became only the 11th coach in the game's 29-year history to lead the Vermont Men's team to a victory over New Hampshire.

Salerno commented: " I am extremely excited to become a member of the Frost Heaves family. I'd like to thank Coach Strohm for giving me this great opportunity to work for such a successful and beloved franchise. Growing up I could see the Barre Auditorium from my bedroom window, and to be able to coach at the professional level on that court is really something special to me. I look forward to contributing in what we believe will be another great year of Frost Heaves Basketball in Vermont."
When asked about Salerno, Coach Strohm offered this statement: "I am so excited to have Joe become my assistant and become part of the Frost Heaves family. Joe fulfilled all the qualities we were looking for in an assistant:
- We wanted someone with deep relationships, ties, and a background rooted in Vermont.

- We wanted someone who is committed to a lifetime of learning of this game of basketball.
