Join the Voice of the Jayhawks, Brian Hanni, as he sits down with Brennan Bechard. 
Brennan Bechard is in his 14th season with Kansas men’s basketball and currently serves as the program’s Director of Scouting. A Lawrence native, Bechard’s journey with KU spans nearly two decades, beginning as a graduate student manager in 2009, later serving as Assistant Director of Basketball Operations, and then Director of Basketball Operations from 2013–2019.

 As a member of the Kansas staff, Bechard has been part of one of the most successful stretches in college basketball history, contributing to 10 Big 12 regular-season championships, five Big 12 Tournament titles, seven Sweet 16 appearances, five Elite Eights, two Final Fours, and the 2008 NCAA National Championship.

Before joining the staff, Bechard was an invited walk-on for the Jayhawks from 2007–09, lettering three seasons and earning three championship rings. He appeared in 35 career games, including five postseason contests, and started his final home game in Allen Fieldhouse against Texas.

A graduate of the University of Kansas with a degree in sport management, Bechard remains a proud product of Lawrence and a key piece of the Jayhawks’ sustained success.
