[1] Braica was born in Brooklyn, New York and is an alumnus of Bishop Ford High School and Queens College.
[4] While at St. John's, Braica helped lead the Red Storm to two NIT bids as an assistant coach.
On April 29, 2010, Glenn Braica was announced as the 17th head coach in the history of the St. Francis Terriers men's basketball program.
Part of this success was the Terriers stingy defense and big road wins against Miami, Florida Atlantic and Stony Brook.
[10] The Terriers also participated in the 2013 Maui Invitational tournament as part of the Mainland Bracket for the first time in the programs history.
[11] The Terriers finished the season at 18–13 and qualified for the NEC Tournament with the 5th seed yet lost at Mount St. Mary's 71–72.
After the end of the season Braica was announced as a finalist for the 2014 Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award.
St. Francis Brooklyn ended the non-conference portion of their schedule at 6–7, which is impressive considering they opened the season with a five-game losing streak.
Braica then led his team to the NEC Tournament Championship game by defeating LIU Brooklyn and Saint Francis (PA), but lost to Robert Morris in the finals.
By virtue of being the Regular Season Champions, the Terriers were selected for the 2015 NIT, the programs first post-season tournament in 52 years.
Briaca lost four key players to graduation (Jalen Cannon, Brent Jones, Lowell Ulmer and Kevin Douglas) and lost his starting point guard (Glenn Sanabria) to injury yet was able to finish with a second-place finish in conference play and qualify for his 6th consecutive NEC Tournament.
Braica's final record was 177–216, making him the 3rd-winningest coach in the program's history while ranking 2nd in losses.
