Former Vermont standout Kyle Cieplicki has been named the
volunteer assistant basketball coach at Brown in an announcement
made by Bears' head coach Jesse Agel. Cieplicki comes to 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.
