Mohr is in his 16th season at New Hampshire under head coach Bill Herrion in 2020-21.
UNH had one of the biggest turnarounds in program history in the 2019-20 season, when the Wildcats were one of seven teams in Division I men's basketball to increase their previous season's win total by double digits. Spurred by a four-game winning streak in February, the 'Cats finished the season with a 15-15 overall record. UNH was one of the best rebounding teams in the country at No. 2 in defensive rebounds per game (29.83) and No. 5 in total rebounds per game (41.30).
Mohr helped mold the most successful class in program history, as the Class of 2018 recorded 69 wins in a four-year span. The Wildcats recorded a total of 59 wins spanning the 2015-17 seasons, which is the most successful three consecutive seasons in program history. UNH reached 20 wins in a single season for the first time in 2015-16 and matched that win total in ‘16-’17.
New Hampshire became only the third program in the Northeast to record 19+ wins in three straight seasons in 2016-17 with a program-tying 20 wins and a third consecutive home playoff game in Durham. The Wildcats won six straight games heading into the conference semifinals, which was the longest streak since Jan. 31-Feb. 18, 1995.
UNH earned a program record 20 wins in 2015-16 and won a first-ever postseason game in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament against Fairfield University. The Wildcats finished 20-13 overall, including 11-5 in America East play.
The 'Cats had their most successful season since the 1994-95 season in 2014-15, when they posted 19 wins to match the program record at the time, hosted their first playoff game in Lundholm Gymnasium in 20 years, and was selected to participate in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The 19-13 overall record was the first winning season since the historic 1994-95 squad went 19-9 overall.
Before UNH, Mohr worked six seasons as an assistant coach at Merrimack College with longtime head coach Bert Hammel. In his first year as an assistant at Merrimack, Mohr helped guide the Warriors to a 22-9 record, the Northeast-10 Regular Season and Tournament Championships and the NCAA Division II Northeast Regionals during the 1999-2000 season.
The Warriors posted an overall record of 69-73 and were 5-3 in postseason play while Mohr was on staff.
Mohr was also a player at Merrimack from 1992-97. He finished with 879 career points. As a senior captain, he averaged 10.5 points per gamen. Mohr was a two-time recipient of the Gregory Newman Award given to the ultimate team player. He also received the Ray Gallant award in 1995-96 and the Most Improved Player award in his second year in the program.
Prior to coaching at Merrimack, Mohr taught high school English and was an assistant basketball coach for the varsity program at Carmel High School in Mundelein, Ill.
Mohr is an active member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
Mohr lives in North Andover, Mass., with his wife, Meghan, son, Cooper and daughter, McKenna.
