Illinois legend Dee Brown is returning to the Fighting Illini basketball program, serving for Head Coach John Groce as the program's first-ever Director of Player Development and Alumni Relations. Brown's new role comes on the heels of a successful year-long stint in the UI's Division of Intercollegiate Athletics (DIA) as Special Assistant to the Director of Athletics.
Brown's duties with the Illini will include scheduling and coordinating all student-athlete life skills enhancement opportunities and community service participation, providing off-the-court guidance to players during their collegiate careers and beyond, coordinating video materials, contributing to on-campus recruiting-related activities and directing correspondence with high school coaches, and representing the program at various public and alumni events.
In addition, Brown also will lead alumni relations for the program, focusing on increased communication and engagement with previous players along with planning and coordinating Illini basketball alumni events in concert with the Varsity "I" Association.
