Benedict College Athletics

Brown was the driving force behind the great Benedict men's basketball teams from 1979-81. He helped lead Benedict to its first NCAA men's basketball tournament appearance in 1980, and then helped the Tigers to the SIAC conference championship in 1981.

He was named all-SIAC in 1980 and 1981, and was named the team's MVP in 1981. During those two seasons, Benedict was consistently ranked in the top 10 among Black Colleges in the Sheridan Poll. Brown was the leading scorer in the 1981 Budweiser Classic against Allen with 23 points. A multi-talented athlete, Brown also was a member of the Benedict baseball team in 1981.

Brown graduated from Benedict in 1981 and returned as a coach for the Tigers, working with men's basketball (1985-86), women's basketball (1985-88) and baseball (1985-89) teams.

Brown serves as executive director of the Richland County Recreation Commission, where he continues to be a strong supporter of Benedict College. He participates as a guest speaker in the classroom and on Career Day in the HPER department, sharing his insights on professionalism and being a leader and motivator. He also has worked with the school to utilize Richland County facilities and equipment for HPER and Athletic Department events.
