Source: Virginia hires Vermont’s Koehn to replace McDonald on airwaves

Posted on 06/24 at 12:15 AM

A source chimed in late Monday night offering a name out of left field that had been offered - and accepted - Virginia’s play-by-play job.
Apparently, Dave Koehn, the voice of the men’s basketball team at the University of Vermont, has accepted the Cavaliers’ vacant position. Multiple staff members at The Daily Progress were working late into the night to gain further confirmation with the hiring and learned an official release to announce the school’s choice is expected within the next 48 hours.
Koehn (pronounced CANE) has been at Vermont serving as the “Voice of the Catamounts” since 2005. A 1999 graduate of Kansas, Koehn worked previously on the airwaves with the football, basketball and baseball programs at Texas Lutheran University and Sam Houston State.
An avid skier and a three-time state tennis champion in high school in Colorado, Koehn has also worked since 2006 with the Vermont Lake Monsters, a Class-A affiliate with Major League Baseball’s Washington Nationals.
