Hubie Brown joined ESPN and ABC Sports in December 2004 as an analyst for NBA broadcasts. Brown was enshrined into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Massachusetts in September 2005.
Brown retired as head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies during the 2004-2005 season. He had returned to coaching on November 2002 after a 16-year absence. Brown led the Grizzlies to an 83-85 (.494) record during his tenure. In the 2003-2004 season, his first full season at the helm, he led the Grizzlies to one of the biggest turnarounds in NBA history, winning 50 games while leading the team to its first-ever playoff berth. Because of his success during the 2003-2004 season, Brown was named the NBA’s Coach of the Year, winning the award for the second time in his 15-year NBA coaching career.
Brown’s coaching career spans 33 years, including 15 with the NBA, in which he led the New York Knicks to two playoff appearances during five seasons (1982-87); the Atlanta Hawks to three playoff appearances during five seasons (1976-81); and led the Kentucky Colonels to an ABA (American Basketball Association) Championship in 1975. He also spent 15 years as a highly regarded teacher at coaching clinics and as an NBA broadcast analyst for three television networks. He was nominated for a Sports Emmy in 1994 and 1999, and he received the Curt Gowdy Electronic Media Award from the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000.
