Entering his second year leading the Lady Tigers Basketball program, Head Coach "Romeo" Lagmay, Jr. strongly believes this year's team should be a delightful and successful one carrying over from last year's accomplishments. After having a much improved program after a 6 year absence, the Lady Tiger program is hoping to become top conference contenders.

Coach Romeo possesses a diversified wealth of experience.  As a player himself, it became natural for him as point guard to lead a team during victories and struggles.  He was a team captain and defensive player of the year at Feather River College located in Northern California.  While attending California State University, Stanislaus, he was hired, in his first coaching debut, as the head girl’s basketball coach at Denair Middle School.  He went on to graduate at California State University, Dominguez Hills with an honors degree in Physical Education with an emphasis in Teaching.  Upon graduation, Coach Romeo taught numerous courses at the secondary level as well as coaching at the high school level on the varsity and junior varsity level at Los Angeles HS and Abraham Lincoln HS located in his hometown of Los Angeles, California.  It was during this time, that he founded and directed a basketball recruiting service called All About Basketball.  His organization assisted high school and junior college athletes in receiving athletic scholarships around the nation.  This led him into relationships with athletic programs that were requiring his services in the collegiate coaching levels. 

In August 2000, Slippery Rock University hired Coach Romeo Lagmay as their new men's graduate assistant coach. In 2002, he graduated The Rock with a master's degree in Counseling and Educational Psychology: Student Personnel. Later that summer, he was hired as the recruiting coordinator and lead assistant for West Virginia Tech located in Montgomery, WV. Coach Romeo held duties there also as a lecturer and advisor in the physical education department, freshmen counselor, part-time softball coach, facilities coordinator, and head men's tennis coach. In spring 2006, the West Virginia Wild of the International Basketball League hired Coach Romeo Lagmay as the general manager and head coach of the semi-professional basketball organization located in Charleston, WV. But Coach Romeo favored his collegiate roots, and accepted the position as the new women's head basketball coach at Salem International University.

During the 2006-07 campaign, deemed as another struggling year, Coach Romeo and his Lady Tigers fought through early challenges and obstacles, but later found themselves competing and winning against the best in the WVIAC. The Lady Tigers hosted a first round playoff game defeating WV Wesleyan and continued with a tournament second round quarterfinal loss to then #2 nationally ranked Glenville State. That season's goal was to arrive in the Charleston Civic Center hosting the WVIAC tournament. That feat was amazingly accomplished by a newly formed and talented recruit of players. Assembled was a completed overall 12-16 record with a winning record of 10-8 in conference leading the SIU women's basketball team to a top NCAA Division II national 18th ranking as the most improved program.

It was in his first year as head coach of the women's basketball program that Coach Romeo resurrected the Lady Tigers after a six year drought, produced a spotlight in national prominence, and represented a force to be reckon with in the WVIAC. Every collegiate program that he has coached at, he has recruited top-notch athletes that have received national notoriety. Coach Romeo continues to coach every summer in one of the prestigious NBA's summer professional basketball league held in Southern California. He has coached many talented players ranging from high school, junior college, Division I, II, III to the NBA. His reputation as a talented recruiter, program rebuilder, and an inspirational motivator reveals his effective coaching and teaching skills. Aside from basketball, he truly believes in not only winning on the court, but players as individuals becoming successful members in society.

He currently holds professional memberships in the National Association of Basketball Coaches, Women's Basketball Coaches Association, Black Coaches Association, and American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance. He also serves as an instructor in the department of Physical Education and Health at Salem International.
