Brown Names Eric Reveno Head Coach

Reveno takes over the Bears after Mike Martin left to become associate head coach at Michigan.

Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Basketball

Brown appointed Eric Reveno as its head coach 11 days after Mike Martin was named associate head coach at Michigan on July 13, 2026. Reveno begins his first season leading the Bears, who retained assistants Tyson Wheeler, Omar Lowery and Andrew Becil.

Why it matters

The change puts a new head coach in charge of a team that struggled last season, with Brown shooting 31.7% from three, an Ivy League low. Keeping several assistants on staff provides continuity as the program enters the 2026-27 season with five freshmen.

Brown made 44.4% of its field goals and 31.7% of its 3-pointers last season, the lowest mark in the Ivy League, while averaging 12.9 turnovers per game. Columbia's 13 turnovers per game led the conference, and the extraction does not say whether those trends will shift under Reveno.

Season Trajectory

Brown reached the championship game of the 2024 Ivy League Madness Tournament, a benchmark the program now measures its next stage against. Reveno inherits a roster that must rebuild efficiency after last season's shooting and turnover struggles.

Reveno's first season will test whether Brown can improve its 31.7% three-point shooting and reduce its 12.9 turnovers per game. Fans following the Bears can track those numbers across the non-conference schedule, which includes games against Siena and Lehigh.

The takeaway

A coaching change at Brown brings a new voice to a team with five freshmen and a clear need to improve its shooting and ball security. Watching how the returning assistants and new head coach work together will show early whether the program can build on its 2024 tournament run.
