HEAD COACH JOHN BRADYNow in his fourth year with the program John Brady was announced as Arkansas State’s 15th head men’s bas-ketball coach by Director of Athletics Dr. Dean Lee at a press conference held in ASU’s Convocation Center onMarch 19, 2008.

In only three years at the helm of the program, Brady has turned the Red Wolves into a winner includingcapturing a share of the western division Sun Belt Conference Championship in 2010-11, posting double-digitSun Belt Conference wins back-to-back for the first time in nearly 20 years and going undefeated at home witha 13-0 record.

During his first season with the Red Wolves, Brady helped lead ASU to one of the best starts in program his-tory and achieved the No. 22 ranking on Collegeinsider.com’s Mid-Major Top 25 poll. As a team ASU greatlyimproved its defending and rebounding, finishing near the top of the conference in several statistical categories.

Brady took a step further in his second season with The Red Wolves, improving their record to 17-14 andthe team advanced to the semifinals of the Sun Belt Tournament finishing second in the west. Brady was namedSun Belt Coach of the Year and the District VII Coach of the Year by the USBWA. ASU led the league in three-point FG defense, rebounding offense and defensive rebounding.

ASU also posted an 11-7 SBC record this season which was its best league mark since the 2006-07 seasonwhen ASU achieved the same record. Its 11-wins was the seventh-time since ASU joined the Sun Belt thatthey have posted double-digit league wins.

Brady spent the last 10-plus seasons serving as LSU’s head coach, leading the Tigers to six postseasonberths, two SEC championships and three SEC Western Division titles. Twice named the SEC Coach of theYear, Brady is a proven winner who has a well-documented record of success and a long list of accomplish-ments.

Brady’s 16-year tenure as a head coach at both LSU and Samford in Birmingham, Alabama, has been dec-orated with achievements. He has coached a combined 25 All-TAAC and SEC selections, 48 academic all-con-ference choices, posted 11 winning seasons and collected five division championships. Brady piled up thethird most wins in LSU history with 192 and left Samford after the 1996-97 season as the Bulldog’s all-timeleader in coaching victories (89) as well.

He quickly turned around an LSU’s men’s basketball program that had suffered four consecutive losing sea-sons prior to his arrival, leading the Tigers to a 28-6 record, an SEC championship and an NCAA Sweet 16 ap-pearance in just his third season (1999-00) at the helm. Under Brady’s direction, the Tigers recorded sixconsecutive winning seasons from 2001-02 to 2006-07 while making three trips to the NCAA Tournament andtwo more to the NIT. The 2005-06 campaign saw LSU post a 27-9 record and advance to the Final Four for thefirst time in 20 years.

Not only did Brady coach the Tigers to 23 wins versus ranked opponents, he also led them to victories overtwo teams ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press Poll (Arizona in 2002-03 and Duke in 2005-06). Additionally,he orchestrated a 19-game home winning streak over SEC opponents, the third longest stretch in LSU history.

While at LSU, Brady coached two NBA Lottery picks and six current NBA players. The Tigers signed nineParade All-Americans and four McDonald All-Americans under Brady, who also coached three SEC Players ofthe Year, four players named SEC Freshman of the Year, one SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year and 17 All-SECselections.

Prior to taking over the reigns at LSU, Brady served as Samford’s head coach from 1991-92 through 1996-97. It didn’t take long for him to turn around a Samford program coming off six straight losing seasons, either,guiding the Bulldogs to a 17-10 record in his second season. He led Samford to three straight winning seasons(1995-97) for the first time since 1982-84, all leading up to a 19-9 record and division title in 1997. Samfordwon the TAAC West Division each of Brady’s final two seasons at the school for the first time in school history.

His four winning campaigns at Samford were the first for any coach at the school, and he led the Bulldogsto an 89-77 record after they went 27-83 the four seasons prior to his initial year. He coached eight All-TAACand 14 Academic All-TAAC players over six seasons.

Since Arkansas State hired him as theschool's new basketball coach six weeksago, John Brady -- yes, that John Brady --has been determined to put his self-de-scribed "stamp" on the program. After meet-ing with each returning member of the team,Brady sought out the trainer and the aca-demic advisers and the sports informationofficials and the facility management crew.He even sat down with the head of the dancesquad. In short, Brady approached every in-dividual who had anything -- however pe-ripheral -- to do with the basketball team. Inhis spare time, he signed two recruits, re-structured the booster club, changed theteam uniform and commissioned renova-tions of the weight room and coaches' of-fices. He explained his rationale: Players andrecruits want to see change, they want to seeimprovement.

John Brady didn’t make many promises, onlyone. He’s committed to winning. The newlynamed Arkansas State basketball coach,Brady said he would teach his teams to playto their strengths . . .Winning has been a sig-nature at every place Brady has coached. Re-building troubled programs into respectedcontenders is another.

Matt Roberson, Jonesboro SunMarch 20, 2008

“My commitment is to do everything I possi-bly can to get this program to the top of theSun Belt. Whether it’s five years or eightyears, this could possibly be my last stop. Icould coach here eight years and retiresomewhere. Every job I’ve always taken, myapproach is to think long term.”
