Following the season, Coach Sattele was named the WBCA Regional Coach of the Year, the D3hoops.com South Region Coach-of-the-Year and the Georgia Basketball Coach-of-the-Year for all teams and divisions. Currently, Coach Sattele holds an all-time winning percentage of .714, which is good for 33rd place among all Division III coaches with five years or more of coaching experience.

Prior to taking the head coaching position at Oglethorpe, Coach Sattele was an assistant coach at Oglethorpe for two seasons.

Sattele came to Oglethorpe from St. Pius X High School in Atlanta, Ga. While head coach at St. Pius X for three years, the school accumulated two sub-region and one region championship, one sweet sixteen and one final eight appearance in the AAAA state tournament.  

"Dedication, hard work with a touch of fun,” says Sattele is his philosophy towards whatever he does. Coach Sattele is a graduate of Villanova University and has been married forever (just kidding, 44 years) to Gerry Sattele and has four married children and 10 grandchildren. Hobbies include auto racing and ocean sailing.
