Timi Brown to Resign as Head Basketball Coach at End of Season

by Tish Elliott, Mesa State Sports Information Director

GRAND JUNCTION- Timi Brown will step down at the end of the season as the Head Women's Basketball Coach at Mesa State College announced Sunday evening by Athletic Director Butch Miller.

Brown's announcement comes after four and a half years at the helm of the women's program (2004-2009). She has guided the Mavericks to a 56-71 overall record. Her best season came in 2006-2007 when the team posted a 17-11 overall record. In 2007-2008 she led the Mavericks to a 12-7 conference record, a tie for second place in the west division, and a trip to the RMAC post season tournament.

Prior to Brown's arrival she was the head coach at Odessa College (TX) where she guided the Wranglers to the Western Junior College Athletic Conference championship in 2004 with a 25-5 record, and a berth to the NJCAA regional tournament. She was named Western Junior College Athletic Conference Coach of the year.

"We are very grateful for the time, effort and dedication that Coach Brown has given to our women's basketball program and Mesa State College," said Miller.

The Mavericks play on the road this Tuesday at Western State College.

The search for a new head women's basketball coach will begin immediately.
