Hall of Fame
A respected coach, educator and lifelong supporter of Spartan athletics, Dave Kinsman has spent decades impacting basketball throughout the state of Vermont. A Castleton graduate who earned his bachelor's degree in 1969 and master's degree in education in 1975, Kinsman compiled a 318-164 record across 22 seasons as a Vermont high school boys basketball coach, highlighted by 11 Final Four appearances, five trips to the state championship game and three Vermont State Championships. A charter member of the Vermont Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame, he also coached the Vermont-New Hampshire All-Star Game on three occasions and spent 34 years as an educator at West Rutland and Rutland High Schools. Kinsman later returned to Castleton for as second stint serving both basketball programs and today remains a familiar voice to Spartan fans as the color analyst alongside Hall of Famer Jack Healey for Castleton men's and women's basketball broadcasts.
