Kyle Cieplicki enters his second season as an assistant coach at
Brown following an outstanding four-year career at the University
of Vermont, where he was the team leader on and off the court and
was the first three-year captain in Catamount basketball
history.
“I’ve known Kyle and his family for many years, and
I’m extremely excited to give Kyle his initial opportunity on
what promises to be an exciting coaching career,” said Agel,
who recruited Cieplicki to play at Vermont. “Our players at
Brown will benefit from Kyle’s playing experience.”
Cieplicki was the UVM Athletic Department’s winner of the
Seaman’s Trophy given to the senior student-athlete who has
demonstrated a high level of athletic achievement and who earned
the respect and regard from his fellow student-athletes for
leadership, loyalty and service to the University.
He started 82 of 89 games over the last three years of his career,
and averaged 10.6 points per game as a senior. He dished out a
career best 88 assists as a junior, while connecting on 42 treys.
He played in two NCAA Playoff games as a freshman, making a key
contribution in the first round win over Syracuse.
A native of Shelbourne, Vermont, Cieplicki was a standout at Rice
Memorial High School before attending Vermont.
