Brown University announced Tuesday that Eric Reveno will assume the role of Men's Basketball Head Coaching Chair, marking the culmination of a distinguished coaching journey that spans several elite programs.
A Storied Career
Reveno’s path to Providence began at Stanford, where he played and later returned to earn an MBA, but his impact as a coach has been felt at multiple powerhouses. After stints as an assistant and associate head coach at Stanford, he guided the University of Portland to a program‑defining season, captured the West Coast Conference Coach of the Year award, and later helped Georgia Tech reach the NIT Championship Game while establishing a culture of sustained success.
His tenure at Stanford was marked by four Pac‑10 titles, three seasons ranked No. 1 nationally, and a 204‑54 record paired with a perfect 100 % graduation rate among scholarship athletes. At Portland, his 2009‑10 squad set a school record with 21 wins, and his Georgia Tech teams posted back‑to‑back double‑digit ACC win streaks, underscoring his ability to elevate programs both on and off the court.
M. Grace Calhoun, Brown’s Vice President for Athletics and Recreation, praised Reveno’s blend of basketball acumen and championship experience, stating that his leadership aligns perfectly with the university’s ambition to contend for titles while fostering student‑athletes who thrive beyond the hardwood.
Reveno holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Stanford and an MBA from the same institution, and he has consistently emphasized the importance of academic excellence and personal development. In his new role, he plans to build a championship program that prepares athletes for meaningful lives, a vision that resonates with Brown’s Ivy League tradition of integrating sport and scholarship.
The appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Brown basketball, which has seen incremental growth in recent seasons. With Reveno’s proven track record of turning under‑recruited rosters into contenders, the Bears hope to translate that momentum into a sustained push for Ivy League supremacy and deeper NCAA tournament appearances.
Looking Forward
Fans and alumni alike are eager to see how Reveno’s offensive philosophy and player development strategies will reshape the team’s identity. As the program prepares for the upcoming season, the excitement surrounding his arrival reflects a broader belief that Brown is poised to reclaim its place among the conference’s elite.
