Episode 177: Rebound Forward with Randy Brown

Randy Brown is a basketball lifer and ambassador. His 20-year college men’s coaching career is as diverse and successful as any. At the age of 21 he set three goals; become a Div. I assistant, become a Div. I head coach, and coach in the NCAA Final Four. A nail-biting loss in the 2000 Elite Eight to Michigan State kept him from achieving his final goal. 12 NBA players have resulted from Randy’s college coaching, including Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors.

In his book, Rebound Forward, he details tragedy and adversity he and his family have faced. This adversity tangled with personal, emotional, mental, and professional hurdles have made him truly who he is today. In Rebound Forward he unashamedly writes in detail about his struggles, tears, successes and pursuit of purpose, holding back no punches.
