Brett Banker was "Mr. Everything" in his four years at Penn State Behrend. He successfully served the College in several areas: as an assistant athletics director, head softball coach, and as intramural director. Banker was a workhorse with a personality beloved by all while at Penn State Behrend.
As the head softball coach, he resurrected the women's program
and developed it into a respected power which is still
flourishing. His career coaching record is 78-36; an average
of nearly twenty wins a year. In each of his four seasons at
the helm, his teams improved steadily. In 1992 his team won
the ECAC Southern Championship. Banker's teams were
regionally ranked in '90, '91, and '92. The 1990 ranking was
the first for any Penn State Behrend sports team.
Additionally, he was an assistant on the College's first-ever
Eastern College Athletic Conference Championship with the women's
basketball team in the 1991-92 season.
Banker wore many hats because he made things improve. He
has touched many programs, many lives, and has reserved a special
place in our hearts at Penn State Behrend. He received his
bachelor of science degree in 1984 and master's of athletic
administration from Springfield College in 1988. He is
currently the athletic director and head of physical education,
recreation, and intramurals in the Kenmore School District in
Buffalo, New York.
