Sean Brown, Sr. is entering his second season as the school’s head men’s basketball coach after being hired from a national search in May of 2018.
Brown is the 14th head coach in the 77–year history of the Bobcat program and he is no stranger to Frostburg as he earned both his bachelors (2003) and masters (2005) degrees from Frostburg and served as an assistant coach from 2002-04 and again from 2007-15.
In his first season, Brown guided the program to a 10-16 overall record, which included a 97-86 victory at No. 24 Salisbury.
Under Brown, the Bobcats ranked 13th in the nation with 5.2 blocks per game. Senior Edwin Cole led the CAC with 47 blocked shots, including a season-best nine against Eastern Mennonite. As a team, the Bobcats matched the school record for blocked shots (14) in the 89-75 victory over EMU.
The Bobcats had the most prolific three-point shooting performance in program history in a win at Mary Washington. Frostburg knocked down 15-of-24 threes (62.5%) to set FSU’s three-point percentage record and match the program’s school record for three-pointers made. Terry Kenner made a program-best eight three-pointers in the win.
The duo of Cole and junior Daniel Alexander were named to the 2019 All-CAC teams. Alexander was named to the first team while Cole was named to the second team for the second-consecutive season. Cole capped his career becoming the 19th player in program history to reach 1,000 points and Alexander led the CAC in field goals made (167).
Brown inherited a Bobcat squad that returned three starters and eight total players from the 2017-18 CAC Tournament team.
Junior Edwin Cole, along with sophomores Daniel Alexander and Lawrence Pettis, Jr. all scored over 300 points during the 2017-18 campaign, while Cole finished fourth in the nation in offensive rebounding (4.27) and 10th in total blocks (68).
Prior to returning to his alma mater, Brown has served as head coach at Pitt-Bradford for the last three seasons.
Over his two years at Bradford, Brown coached the Panther women’s basketball team to 34 wins, including two spots in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) Tournament. The Panthers led the AMCC in scoring both seasons, while in his first season, Brown’s team finished in the top-20 in Division III in both scoring and forced turnovers.
In 2017-18, Brown took over the reins of the Pitt-Bradford men’s program.
During his second stint at FSU from ‘07-15, Brown helped the Bobcats to 115 wins, including back-to-back 17-win campaigns in 2008-09 and 2009-10. In his final season in 2014-15, Brown helped the Bobcats to a 76-67 win over No. 13 ranked Randolph-Macon.
Brown served as Frostburg’s graduate assistant coach for two seasons from 2002-04 and assisted the Bobcats to 25 wins, including an AMCC Tournament appearance in 2003-04.
Brown was a standout student-athlete for the Bobcats men’s team from 1997-02. He was a two-time team Captain, held Frostburg’s single-season school record for three-point shooting percentage and was a First Team All-AMCC selection as a senior.
As a junior, he helped lead Frostburg to the AMCC Tournament Championship and ECAC South Region Runner-Up trophy.
