Brad Brownell

Bradley Robert Brownell (born November 15, 1968) is an American college basketball coach at Clemson University.

Brownell graduated from DePauw University in 1991,[1] where he was a member of the basketball team[2] and the Sigma Chi fraternity.

His junior year, Brownell helped lead the Tigers to the NCAA Division III National Championship game, where he missed a shot to win the title.

[3] Upon completing his master's degree in 1994, Brownell began his tenure at UNC Wilmington as an assistant to then-head coach Jerry Wainwright.

[6] Following the 2006 season, Brownell left UNC Wilmington to take the head coach's job at Wright State,[7] where he made an immediate impact.

In his first season at Wright State, Brownell led the Raiders to their first-ever Horizon League title, beating out nationally ranked Butler, coached by fellow DePauw graduate Brad Stevens, to capture both the regular season and tournament titles.

The Raiders earned the 14th seed in the West Region, and lost in the first round of the 2007 NCAA tournament to Pittsburgh.

After two subpar years, the Tigers returned to postseason play in 2014 earning an NIT bid and reaching the semifinals.
