Jim Brown served as an assistant, associate, and head coach for the Wright State men's basketball team for 27 years. He was an assistant coach under head coach John Ross, Wright State's first coach, and continued in that role with head coaches Marcus Jackson and Ralph Underhill, becoming associate head coach in 1993. He then was appointed head coach for the 1996-97 season. During his time with the Raiders, the program moved from high school gyms, to the PE Building to the Nutter Center and from a Division II independent to a member of the Horizon League and Division I.

After leaving Wright State, Brown was the head boys’ varsity basketball coach at Northmont High School in Clayton, Ohio for 16 years.

Jim currently works alongside Chris Collins, calling Wright State Men’s Basketball Games on Radio.
