Becker ties Brennan on UVM all-time wins list

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - After UVM’s victory over UMBC on Sunday, head coach John Becker tied former head man Tom Brennan on the program’s all-time wins list with 264 victories.

“It means a lot. It will mean a lot more when I break it. It’s a huge feat,” Becker said of the achievement. “Vermont has been playing basketball for over 100 years and to think I will hold the all-time wins record at some point is special. Especially topping Tom Brennan who is a good friend and a legend, I’ll be able to hold that over him a little bit, which will be nice.”

Prior to UVM’s home game against Toledo in December, Brennan told WCAX: “I’m so proud, I’m so excited for John and our team. It’s been a wonderful opportunity for me to be able to stay here and watch him do his thing and see how great he’s made this program. It’s just unbelievable.”
