Additionally, Sina was named Coach of the Year by The Courier News after the 2017-18 season, and once again by NJ.com after the 2019-2020 season.

I’ve been coached by top notch college and professional coaches and that background has allowed me to take the best of each coach and mold myself into what they would do. I take a lot of things from them and use it."
