  • Many Basketball Coaches have transitioned into broadcasting, but few could relate the “x’s and o’s” with that lens like Hubie Brown.

    A two-time NBA Coach of the Year, Brown was broadcasting even while still an active coach. Brown went full-time in the booth, working for CBS, TNT, and ESPN, dissecting plays in rapid-fire yet succinctly. Known affectionately as the “Educator”, Brown explained hoops through a coach’s eye, and thousands of fans learned the game because of him.

    Brown called 18 NBA Finals and won the Curt Gowdy Award from the Basketball Hall of Fame.

    We are proud to nominate Hubie Brown for the United States Athletic Hall of Fame.
