Brown joins head coach Earl Grant’s staff after serving five years as head men’s basketball coach at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass, from 2010 to 2015.

“We are excited about the addition of Milan Brown to our basketball family,” Grant said. “Milan has been very successful throughout his career as an assistant and most recently as a head coach. He is a man of character, a great recruiter, is very energetic and has a phenomenal basketball mind.”

Brown’s previous ties to the CAA were assistant coaching stops at former league member Old Dominion (1995-97) and William & Mary (2000-02).

“I am extremely blessed to have this opportunity to join the College of Charleston basketball program,” Brown said. “I understand the rich basketball tradition that Charleston has and I feel lucky to be a part of it. Coach Grant is a high-character person who brings a tremendous amount of positive energy and passion to this program. I look forward to working with Coach Grant, his staff and the players.”
