@DeanShaffer34 Let’s go!

Leader of men

It is impossible to explain the impact Tony Reno has had on myself and my family. He made all those around him a better version of themselves. I am incredibly grateful to have had the chance to call him a Coach, a mentor and a friend. Love you, Coach!

You changed my life, Coach. Forever indebted. 💙🤍

The greatest man, leader, and mentor I have ever met. You have changed the lives of hundreds of men who were lucky enough to call you “Coach.” On behalf of all YFB alumni, we thank you and your family for your service to Yale. Love you Coach❤️ @CoachRenoYale

Dad, you are my role model, my best friend and my coach. I love you so much. The last 15 years you have been the best head coach I have ever seen. From your first year to playing with you last year, you have put your heart and soul into coaching. Your legacy will last forever. ❤️
