Dec. 13, 2011
Men’s basketball coach at Penn State DuBois, Dave Bennett will be seeking his 100th career win at the school next Sunday, when PSUD Nittany Lions play PS Lehigh Valley in Center Valley, PA. Coach Bennett is in his 6th season at the helm of the basketball program, he assisted one year prior to taking over the reins in October 2006.
In his first year Bennett led the team to a 24-7 record and a 2nd place finish in the USCAA National Basketball Championship, he followed that up with another trip to the USCAA Championships in 2010 finishing in 4th place with a record of 22-8.
Dave’s contributions go beyond the basketball court: he demands his players to be complete student/athletes. Study table for academics success, community outreach- Boy Scout day and clinic is a favorite of the coaches and players. Recruitment and developing relationships with high school coaches is a necessity, through this process creating diversity to the DuBois campus. Dave expects his team at all times strive to represent our campus in a prideful manor which is representative of the mission of Penn State University.
We not only congratulate Coach Bennett on this milestone in his coaching career, but we thank his wife Kaye and their children for sharing their husband, father with all of us at Penn State DuBois.
Coach Dave Bennett’s career at PSU DuBois 99 wins – 55 loses.
