Brown enters his 12th season as the head coach of the men's basketball program at Middlebury. Previously he served in the same postion at Bates College for three seasons. In '07-'08, Brown led the team to it most successful season in school history with 19 wins and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Panthers won their first NESCAC Tournament game, a 96-59 win over Williams, and set several school records. A 1982 graduate of the University of Vermont, Brown scored more than 1,000 points and earned induction into the university's Athletic Hall of Fame during his Catamount basketball career. He is sixth on the all-time scoring list (1,336 points), second in steals (170), fourth in assists (428), fifth in field goals made (526), and ninth in free throws made (284). While playing at UVM, Brown averaged 12.7 points and 4.1 assists per game. As a junior he was an All-New England Honorable Mention selection, and he was elected co-captain as a senior.
After graduation, Brown spent three years (1982-85) as the top assistant basketball coach at Manhattan College in New York, where he built his reputation as a first-rate recruiter and strategist. Three students he recruited for Manhattan were named Metro Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year.
Brown then returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach for nine years (1985-94). At Vermont, his responsibilities included advance scouting, player development, on-the-floor coaching, and game-day preparations.
Brown took over the reins of the Bates College program in 1994 as the Bobcats' head coach.
