Word on the Street
Greg Brown
.. Former Texas A&M assistant coach
.. Former UCF associate head coach
will be announced as joining Sytia Messer's staff at UCF

May 11, 2022
Brown, a 16-year Division I coaching veteran, is back for his second stint with the Knights.

"Greg Brown is someone I've had my eye on for awhile," Messer said. "He brings a wealth of basketball knowledge to our staff. He is a very respected coach in the women's basketball game and has years of coaching experience, including time as a head coach. He will have an immediate impact on our program and help develop our student-athletes."

Brown is back in Orlando after spending the 2021-22 campaign as an assistant coach at Texas A&M.

Prior to his time in College Station, Brown was the head coach of his alma mater, Lipscomb, from 2012-2019, and spent two seasons as an assistant coach for the legendary Hall of Famer Pat Summitt.

During his stint as head coach of Lipscomb, Brown's players earned the program's first ever Atlantic Sun Player of the Year, three ASUN All-Conference nods, five ASUN All-Freshman honors, eight ASUN Academic All-Conference selections, nine ASUN Players of the Week, one ASUN Scholar-Athlete of the Year and an ASUN Newcomer of the Year award.

Throughout his tenure at Lipscomb, Brown's teams ranked at or near the top of the ASUN in several scoring and shooting categories. In the 2014-15 season, the Lady Bisons led the ASUN and ranked 32nd nationally in 3-point field goal percentage, shooting at a 35.8 clip from beyond the arc. The team's 8.1 3-point field goals per game placed them second in the conference and 15th in the nation.

Prior to being tabbed head coach at Lipscomb, Brown was the associate head for the Knights. He spent five seasons at UCF, helping lead the Black and Gold to two Conference USA championships in 2009 and 2011 along with two bids into the NCAA Tournament. He joined UCF in April 2007 as an assistant coach and was elevated to associate head coach in June 2009.

Before his first stint at UCF, Brown worked with women's basketball pioneer and legend Pat Summitt for two seasons at Tennessee, first serving as a graduate assistant before being promoted to assistant coach in 2003-04. During that time, the Lady Volunteers compiled a record of 64-9, earned two Southeastern Conference Championships and were twice the runners-up in the NCAA Championship Game. His responsibilities at Tennessee included coaching post players, highlighted by several current WNBA players such as the 2004 Kodak All-America selection Shyra Ely.

A 1993 Lipscomb University graduate with a degree in political science, Brown began his coaching career as a student assistant under former Bisons men's basketball head coach Don Meyer.

Prior to UCF, Brown served as head girls' basketball coach at Goodpasture Christian School in Nashville. He also led Friendship Christian School girls' basketball team to three district championships, a regional championship and a sub-state title. He earned two District 8A Coach of the Year awards.

In 2015, Brown released the book "Best Things I've Seen in Coaching" chronicling the time he spent with Coach Summitt and Coach Meyer and the coaching thoughts, quotes, and ideas he gained from the two legendary figures along the way.

Brown and his wife, Teresa, have two sons, Cole and Carter.
