BROWN UNIVERSITY

Dan's meteoric success at BINGHPMTON University led to proposals from prestigious U.S. universities. Including IVY LEAGUE. Two universities courted him in Mr. Harvard HRARWARD and BROWN. Dan had a contract that was difficult to resolve. He decided, stubbornly, to move to BROWN.  

​

Breach of contract with a university is not a simple thing. Need to get a release and only then can you move on. One evening, he asked for a conversation with his revered coach MICHAEL STARK. He told him, "Think for a moment that I am your son, and this is the proposal before him." what would you do? Dan, choked that he would have remembered that moment and the greatness of Michael who told him "I'll help you break free from the contract" - knowing he was losing the better player he had.

​

In 2005 Dan left Binhmeton and moved excitedly to the prestigious BROWN University on Providence Rhode Island. This is a university with a significant history, some members of the Kennedy family studied there. It was a racist university that became one of the most liberal universities in the United States.

"Dan Hanegbi - the old man - receives the drive, the discipline from his service in the IDF"

Old man 'Hanegby '07 gets his drive, discipline from stint in Israeli army

Indeed he was the "old man of the actors." Dan, after serving in the military was at least 4 years older than his teammates.
