Eleven months ago, Isaac Brown was thrust into a situation filled with unknowns. Longtime head coach Gregg Marshall had just resigned following abuse allegations and Brown was announced as the team’s interim head coach. Since then, a lot has changed.
Brown led the Shockers to an American Athletic Conference regular season title and to the NCAA Tournament, while getting the interim tag removed last February. During that season, Brown helped WSU maneuver through the COVID-19 pandemic and other obstacles put in front of them.
The 52 year-old, first time head coach remained a source of positivity during some of the toughest times last season.
