On April 14, the University of Hartford started a new era for their men's basketball program with the hiring of Dan Leibovitz as head coach.
For Leibovitz, it is the culmination of a rapid ascent towards a head coaching spot. At age 32, he is the fourth youngest head coach in Division I Basketball. Coach Leibovitz doesn't think his youth is an issue.
"I look at it as a challenge," Leibovitz said. "This [is] something that I've prepared for. I worked at a very high level for 10 years."
For the past 10 years, Leibovitz has worked as an assistant coach at Temple University under Hall of Fame coach Don Chaney. At 10 seasons, Leibovitz had the longest tenure among assistant coaches in the Atlantic 10 Conference. During his 10 years as a Temple assistant, the Owls went to the postseason every season. Five times they made the NCAA Tournament, including two appearances in the Elite Eight.
Leibovitz was also Temple's acting coach for six games over the past two years. In 2005 he led the Owls to a 3-2 record while Chaney was serving a suspension. Leibovitz coached Temple in their 80-73 loss to Akron in this year's NIT. Dan hopes that the experience will help him avoid the initial pressure of his first head coaching job.
"I think it helps in a certain sense," Leibovitz said. "I probably won't be as nervous for the first game. If you're a basketball coach you always feel at home in the basketball gym."
Coach Chaney has always been a significant influence in Leibovitz's basketball life. As a child, Leibovitz was a ball boy for Chaney at Temple. He has also been an assistant coach at the John Chaney-Sonny Hill Basketball Camp for the past 11 summers. The influence that Chaney has had on his life goes beyond basketball.
"You have to know [Chaney]," Leibovitz said. "It's hard to sit down, talk with him and not leave the room feeling that you met with somebody who's deeply concerned about young people."
The relationship between Chaney and Leibovitz has become so close, that Chaney has often referred to Leibovitz as his 'son.'
Dan played college basketball for a year at Division III Franklin Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa. After one season there he transferred to the University of Pennsylvania. Leibovitz tried to earn a spot as a walk-on, but failed to make the team. Rather than attempt to continue his playing career he decided to start his coaching career.
"I knew I wanted to [coach] at an early age," Leibovitz said.
Leibovitz's first coaching job came in 1994 as the junior varsity coach for Episcopal Academy in Merion, Pa. Episcopal was the same school where Leibovitz was a three-year varsity letterman in basketball.
In his short time as a coach, he has already earned a reputation as one of college's best coaching prospects.
"Dan is one of the brightest young coaches in the East and is well respected by his peers," Villanova men's basketball coach Jay Wright said in a press release. "He'll bring an undying commitment to the University of Hartford basketball program."
Commitment is just one of the values that Leibovitz hopes to bring to Hartford. Improving communication and having clearly defined roles are also goals for the rookie coach.
"You can draw up great plays," Leibovitz explained. "But if you can't communicate it and you can't get those guys to be on the same page, it's all worthless. In anything you do in life, you can never lose that personal touch."
Despite only six winning seasons in the last 22 years, Leibovitz believes that you can win at Hartford. Building a consistent winner just like Jen Rizzotti has for the Hartford women's team is the goal.
"Starting in October, we're working towards a common goal that ends in a championship," Leibovitz said. "You build teams and you build success. It's not about one game here or one game there."
