Mike Brown will join the Malone University men’s basketball
staff as an assistant, Pioneer head coach Tim Walker announced today. Brown, a native of Canton and graduate of
McKinley High School, spent the last two seasons as the head coach of Heritage
Christian School and is currently pursuing his master’s degree in Christian
Ministries at Malone.
A licensed minister and the current Community Program Director at the Canton YMCA, Brown graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration. In addition to his varsity coaching experience at Heritage, Brown has also worked with the Canton YMCA’s AAU boys’ travel team and served as an assistant with the McKinley girls’ basketball squad from 1999-2001.
With his wealth of basketball experience and strong community ties, Walker is eager to bring Brown on board. “I am very excited to have Mike Brown join our basketball staff,” commented Walker. “Mike has a great deal of familiarity with Canton and he has a great report with young people. Most importantly, Mike understands Malone’s mission and he is excited to help our basketball program carry out that mission.”
