Coach Andrew Brown shares his coaching journey from growing up in Pontiac, Michigan to becoming a NCAA D1 Assistant Coach at Gardner-Webb University.

After a successful HS basketball career he went the JUCO route before moving onto and graduating from Mercer. He returned to Mercer as the Graduate Assistant under the legendary Bob Hoffman. Coach Brown coached at the JUCO level before Richie Scheuler hires him as his Assistant Coach at St. Andrews. Eventually Coach Brown was named the HC and the team increased their win total each of the three seasons at the helm. From St. Andrews he went on to be a full time Assistant Coach at Winston Salem State. He was promoted to Associate Head Coach prior to the 2016-2017 campaign and then served as Interim HC following the 2017-2018 season.

Jay Joyner hired Coach Brown to be on his coaching staff at North Carolina A&T in 2018 and he was a big part of their 19-13 record, including their 13-3 record in the MEAC. Tim Craft hired Coach Brown just prior to the 2019-20 season for his coaching staff at Gardner-Webb. Each day Coach Brown commuted roughly four hours round trip and did that for about the entire season. He's one of the good guys in coaching and values genuine relationships.
