Justin Brown - Assistant Coach - 2nd Season

A former SPC Texan basketball player, Justin Brown enters his second season as an assistant coach at his alma mater and returns to South Plains after a year at Prospectives Charter School in Chicago, Illinois.

The Chicago native helped Prospectives to an undefeated season and a city championship.

Brown played for the Texans from 2005-2007 and helped South Plains to the Western Junior College Athletic Conference (WJCAC) championship in the 2006-07 season, the last time the Texans won the conference championship before the 2011-12 team did so last season.

After SPC, Brown transferred to Southwest Baptist University, an NCAA Division II school located in Bolivar, Missouri where he helped the Bearcats to back-to-back conference championships (2007-08, 2008-09). During the 2009-10 season he began his coaching career, serving as a student-assistant for the Bearcats.

Brown received a Bachelor's degree in Sport Management from Southwest Baptist and is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Secondary Education from Lubbock Christian University.
