The Charlotte Bobcats today named Herb Brown as an assistant coach, joining Jeff Capel, Phil Ford and Dave Hanners on the staff of Head Coach Larry Brown.
Herb Brown reunites with his brother for a third time, having previously joined him on the bench in both Detroit and Philadelphia, where the brothers led their teams to the 2004 NBA Championship and 2001 Eastern Conference Championship, respectively. Brown, who brings over 40 years of experience to the Bobcats, spent the last four seasons with the Atlanta Hawks. He was head coach of the Pistons from 1976-78, leading Detroit to back-to-back playoff appearances, and has served as an assistant with the Houston, Phoenix, Indiana, Chicago and Portland, in addition to the Pistons, 76ers and Hawks.
Brown’s coaching experience also includes time in the International Basketball League, Western Basketball Association and Continental Basketball Association, winning CBA Coach of the Year honors in 1984. Internationally, he has coached in the European Professional Basketball League, where he won a title in 1975, and 15 summers in the Puerto Rico Basketball League, where his teams went to the playoffs each year and won a championship in 1984. He also coached in Spain for six seasons and led Team USA to a gold and two bronze medals in the Maccabiah Games in Israel, including a bronze in 2005.
The author of three books about basketball, Brown is a frequent participant in the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders program, as well as Peace Players International and the Friendship Games.
