Tom Brown is a great coach, very impressive resume on the division II level.

Currently West Texas A&M is ranked #8 in the nation at 8-1(began the season #2), (just lost their first game of the season) began season with back to back wins over ranked teams.

Brown has only one losing season in his entire career since 1998 at Winona State, 634-197 in his overall career.

In one stretch at Winona State from 2005-2008 he went 105-6; 49-1 winning three regular season and tournament championships and three straight trips to the National Championship Game winning two of those.

While at West Texas A&M he has won 5 LSC Regular Season Championships, 6 LSC Tournament Championships, and 7 trips to the NCAA Tournament (1 National Championship Game, 2 Final Fours, 2 Elite Eights, and 2 Sweet Sixteens.

Exactly why I like him. Pretty much the Drake approach in hiring a new coach. Since they went out to get Ben McCollum who won most of those titles at NW Missouri State. I think he would translate well and get some of those D2 guys here. Plus the AD connection.

Do juco or D11 coaches that move up to D1 have to adjust to recruiting talent ?
