Eric Reveno has been appointed head coach of the Brown University men’s basketball team, taking over from Mike Martin, who accepted an assistant position at the University of Michigan.
Reveno arrives after a two‑year tenure as associate head coach at Stanford, where he worked under Kyle Smith, and brings with him a résumé that includes a head‑coaching stint at Portland and a reputation for developing sharp‑shooting teams that have repeatedly cracked the national top 100 in three‑point percentage.
His 2008‑09 campaign earned him West Coast Conference Coach of the Year honors, a distinction that underscored his ability to turn programs into contenders.
A Coach With a Proven Track Record
Reveno’s teams have consistently punched above their weight, often leveraging disciplined offensive schemes to generate high‑volume three‑point attempts that have translated into wins against higher‑seeded opponents.
The hiring was overseen by Brown’s athletic director Grace Calhoun and the search firm Parker Executive Search, who highlighted Reveno’s blend of analytical acumen and player development as the catalyst for the Bears’ next chapter.
Brown finished the previous season dead‑last in the conference at 3‑11, but the returning core of key players gives the new staff a foundation on which to build.
The transition also marks the fourth coach in the conference with ties to Kyle Smith, a network that could open new recruiting pipelines and strategic partnerships across the West Coast.
Fans can expect a fresh style of play that emphasizes spacing, ball movement, and a relentless pursuit of perimeter efficiency as the Bears aim to climb out of the bottom of the league.
