DAVIS, Calif. -
Eric Reveno, assistant men's basketball coach at Stanford University, will be interviewed Wednesday for the vacant UC Davis men's basketball head coaching position, Director of Athletics Greg Warzecka announced.
Reveno is the first candidate to be interviewed for the opening, which was created when former coach Brian Fogel announced his resignation on Mar. 20.
Reveno has served as an assistant under Head Coach Mike Montgomery since 1997, helping Stanford to a 158-38 record and three Pac-10 Championships in that span. He has played a vital role in the evaluation and recruiting of student-athletes over the past six seasons, which has led to Stanford achieving a 100 percent graduate rate in men's basketball during his time.
In addition to his work at Stanford, Reveno has been a teacher at Pete Newell's Big Man's Camp each of the past four years, instructing NBA and college players on low-post play at the annual summer camp. From 1995-97, he was president of Riekes Center in Menlo Park, a non-profit mentoring organization that develops junior high and high school student-athletes.
Following his graduation from Stanford, he spent four years playing professionally in Japan, leading his team to the Emperor's Cup title in 1993. During the 1993-94 season, his final year in Japan, he also served as basketball operations advisor, assisting the team with selection and recruitment of foreign players.
Reveno was a four-year letterwinner at Stanford from 1984-89, was a starting center, and was a co-captain his final three years. He remains eighth all-time in blocked shots and as a senior helped Stanford to a 26-7 record and its first appearance in the NCAA tournament since the 1941-42 season.
Reveno graduated from Stanford in 1989 with an economics degree and earned his master's in business administration from Stanford in 1995. He and his wife, Amanda, have a one-year-old daughter, Katherine Elise.
Warzecka said other candidates will be announced as they arrive on campus for their interviews.
