Liccione was named Part-Time Assistant Basketball Coach of the Marquette Warriors in 1988. He replaced Fred Hill, who left to become an assistant coach at the University of Maine. “I got to know Dave through basketball camps,” said Coach Bob Dukiet. “One can observe people during a week of camp and I was very impressed with his work ethic and his knowledge of the game. He's ahead of his time- a winner, and we're glad he's going to join us.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity and challenge of coaching at the college level,” said Liccione. “It's a great privilege to be associated with Marquette and to work for its basketball program….one that I hae supported since my youth. With the opening of the Bradley Center and with Marquette joining the Midwestern Collegiate Conference next season, great things are in store for MU.”
