Athletic Director Richard M. Regan, Jr., announced today that Milan Brown will relieve Sean Kearney as the head men's basketball coach at the College of the Holy Cross. “I am extremely excited about the opportunity to come to Holy Cross and to try to lead the program back to the top of the Patriot League,” said Brown. “My family and I are really pleased about the move, and I cannot wait to get started. I would also like to thank Mr. Regan, Fr. McFarland and the search committee, for entrusting me with leading these young men both on and off the court.”
It will be very interesting to see what Brown will do in his tenature as head coach at Holy Cross. Brown is leaving behind his coaching duties at Mount Saint Mary's, where he served for seven years. During his last three years on the mount his teams posted a 54-44 record but did not win the league.
“We were very focused on hiring someone with head coaching experience, and we were very impressed with Milan both as a coach and a person. We were particularly pleased with the outstanding recommendations we received from a most important source – several coaches who coached against him over the past few years. One thing that was clear, both from his records and what those coaches told us, is that his players defend very well and they play very hard for him. We think that is particularly appropriate for the players in this program right now.” Said Holy Cross athletic director Dick Regan.
Brown has been a participant in the "Runway to the Fashionable 4" in each of the past four seasons for the best-dressed head coaches in NCAA Division I by www.CollegeInsider.com, advancing to the "Elegant Eight" this past year. He also has a website, www.MilanBrown.com, which features updates, camp information and other interesting facts.
