The
2005-06 basketball season will be the sixth
for Grady L. Brewer as the Morehouse College
head basketball coach.
Brewer
has hit the coaching ranks in grand fashion,
after serving as an assistant coach for 13
years under legendary Morehouse coach Arthur
McAfee, who coached him in college.
During his first five years as the Maroon Tigers’
head coach, Brewer has compiled an impressive
103-44 record that translates into a .701 winning
percentage. That winning percentage ranks him
seventeenth among active NCAA Division II head
coaches.
Brewer
earned his 100th career win in 2005, with a
67-52 win over Fort Valley State University.
That feat makes Brewer the fastest coach in
Morehouse College history to reach 100 wins.
By comparison, Brewer reached 100 victories
faster than many noteworthy Division I coaches,
including Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, Bobby
Knight and John Chaney.
Brewer’s
103 victories as a head coach at Morehouse
place him fourth in school history. His .701
winning percentage ranks him second all-time.
Over
the last five years, Brewer has continued the
Morehouse basketball tradition as one of the
top Division II basketball programs in the
country. During that time he has led Morehouse
to four 20-win seasons, four SIAC regular season
championships, an SIAC tournament championship
and two NCAA tournament appearances.
Last
year, Brewer guided the Maroon Tigers to a
16-13 record and to the SIAC tournament semi-finals.
An
Atlanta native, Brewer possesses excellent
credentials. As a player, he prepped under
the legendary Donald Dollar in the celebrated
basketball program at Frederick Douglass High
School. At Morehouse, Brewer lettered in each
of his four years and was a starter for his
final two years.
As
a coach, Brewer served as an assistant coach
at Atlanta’s Booker T. Washington High
School and helped lead the Bulldogs to the
1987 Georgia 4-AAAA state championship.
Brewer
and his lovely wife, the former Loletta Middleton,
are the parents of three sons Ryan, age 17,
Xavier, age 5, and Jordan age 1.
