Men’s basketball head coach Rick Plato led the Tigers to another record-setting season.
The AUS coach of the year, he led the Tigers to a 19-1 regular season record en route to winning their second-straight and fifth conference championship title in seven seasons. He also earned U SPORTS coach of the year honours after the Tigers posted a 34-1 overall record this season.
Rick led Tigers to the national championship final for the first time in the history of the men’s basketball program at Dalhousie. They earned a silver medal – the best-ever finish for Dalhousie, bettering the bronze medal the Plato-led team earned at the 2017 national championship.
This is his third coach of the year honour in his seven seasons with the Tigers.
