'Bennett Gym' honors the coach

Former UW-Green Bay coach Dick Bennett was recognized in February when the spacious new auxiliary gym (inset) at the Kress Events Center was named the “Dick Bennett Gym.” Friends and former players contributed to and are leading the ongoing naming-rights campaign. The facility is the first in Wisconsin honoring the man who led the Phoenix to three NCAA and two NIT bids. His 40-year career included time as a high school coach, as architect of UW-Stevens Point’s great NAIA teams, as a Final Four coach for the Badgers, and leader of the Washington State program now headed by his son, Tony. Dick acknowledged the tribute at a men’s game halftime program.
