Becker Hired, Players Staying Put

Vermont has promoted assistant coach John Becker.Planning a smooth transition, UVM is assured to hold onto their vaunted freshman class of last year and this year's incoming freshmen.Becker has previous experience as a head coach at Gallaudet and has been on the UVM staff for five years. I asked a Vermont basketball insider about the hire. "Becker? Sure. Great. We get three more years of Brian Voelkel! Now back to the Red Sox."
Becker assumes the reigns of a team that sported a 23-9 record and was in the top ten in the nation in road wins. The Catamounts will sorely miss Evan Fjeld but have a very deep bench and a highly anticipated recruiting class, led by York, PA, distance shooter, Four McGlynn.
Early word is that assistant coach Matt O'Brien is retaining his post as well.
