Meet the Coaches that make it all happen.
Kyle Thomason (Head Coach)
Kyle joined the world of mock trial in 2004 in his effort to the best possible class schedule for sleeping late as a second year at Georgia Tech. He became hopelessly addicted and coached Duke's team through his law school years and beyond (from 2007-2012). Kyle has been a member of the AMTA Board of Directors since 2013, including a stint on its Executive Committee. After taking a bunch of years off from coaching, Kyle couldn't resist the chance to join the Fordham program in 2024.
