Mike Brown completed his second season as an assistant coach at Malone in 2010-11.  Brown, a native of Canton and graduate of McKinley High School, spent two years as the head coach of Heritage Christian School prior to joining the Pioneer staff and is currently pursuing his master’s degree in Christian Ministries at Malone.

A licensed minister and the current Community Program Director at the Canton YMCA, Brown graduated from Baldwin-Wallace College in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.  In addition to his varsity coaching experience at Heritage, Brown has also worked with the Canton YMCA’s AAU boys’ travel team and served as an assistant with the McKinley girls’ basketball squad from 1999-2001.

With his wealth of basketball experience and strong community ties, head coach Tim Walker was eager to bring Brown on board.  “I am very excited to have Mike Brown join our basketball staff,” commented Walker.  “Mike has a great deal of familiarity with Canton and he has a great report with young people. Most importantly, Mike understands Malone’s mission and he is excited to help our basketball program carry out that mission.”
