Britney Brown is in her second season as the Associate Head Coach of the UNT women’s basketball program. With 13 seasons of experience coaching in Division I women’s basketball, also serving as an assistant coach at TCU, Nebraska and Tulsa, Brown is one of the nation's best leaders, developers and recruiters.
In her first season at North Texas, the Mean Green went 23-9, claimed a share of the AAC regular season title and earned a postseason berth to the WBIT. Primarily working with UNT’s guards, the team posted its highest scoring average per game (74.3) and the second-most assists (456) in program history. She was also instrumental on the defensive end as North Texas held opponents to a .270 mark 3-point attempts, which ranked No. 17 in the nation.
During the 2024-25 campaign, Brown helped lead North Texas to its winningest season in program history, compiling a 25-9 record with a 15-3 mark in AAC play. Under Brown's guidance, guards Ereauna Hardaway and Desiree Wooten saw massive improvement each setting career highs in points per game, rebounds per game, assists, steals and 3-point field goal percentage.
Wooten was named to the All-AAC Second Team and the All-Defensive team as a sophomore. Brown also helped point guard Dyani Robinson earn the conference’s Sixth Player of the Year award during the 2023-24 campaign.
She came to UNT after seven seasons with the TCU women’s basketball program, helping lead the Horned Frogs to three 20+ win seasons and a pair of appearances in the WNIT Semifinal. The former Oklahoma Sooners product was named associate coach prior to the 2019-20 campaign while also holding the role of Assistant Coach/Recruiting Coordinator during her time in Fort Worth.
In seven seasons at TCU, Brown helped the Horned Frogs win a total of 105 games, including a three-season stretch from 2017-18 to 2019-20 where they won 22+ games in three straight seasons for the first time in program history. That stretch also included notching a 24-11 mark in 2018-19 - just one win shy of the school’s record 25 victories (2000-01, 2003-04).
In addition, TCU also set program records with 17 home victories in 2018-19 and 13 Big 12 Conference wins in 2019-20. The Horned Frogs also managed to register its most road wins since 2003-04, notching nine victories on the road in 2019-20.
TCU collected its first national ranking in 10 years during the 2017-18 campaign, as well, coming in as high as No. 22. The Frogs then made its way back into the WBCA Top-25 rankings during the 2019-20 season, coming in at No. 25, the week of Feb. 25.
During her time in Fort Worth, Brown was instrumental in the growth in a number of All-Big 12 caliber guards. Most recently, Brown helped Lauren Heard become a two-time First Team All-Big 12 selection in 2019-20 and 2020-21. Heard was the first TCU player to accomplish the feat since 2015-16.
Brown was also key in the growth of Kianna Ray who was named All-Big 12 Honorable Mention as a sophomore in 2017-18 after leading the Frogs in assists and steals, while ranking second in blocks. Following the 2018-19 season, both Ray and Heard finished among the top-15 of all Big 12 players in assists, assist/turnover ratio and steals. Heard (first team) and Ray (second team), would go onto earn All-Big 12 honors following the 2019-20 season while Ray also landed on the All-Defensive team.
Brown’s influence was also seen in veteran guards such as Jada Butts and Toree Thompson. In her lone season under Brown, Butts averaged 12.2 points and 2.6 assists per game after averaging 6.5 points and 1.2 assists in her first three seasons. Thompson, who played two of her three seasons at TCU under Brown, shot 36.7 percent from deep in her TCU career to rank eighth in program history.
In total, nine players earned All-conference honors in Brown’s time at TCU. The Frogs were also very successful in the classroom with Brown on staff, producing a total of 28 Academic All-Big 12 selections across the first six seasons of her tenure.
Brown arrived at TCU after serving one season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Nebraska, helping lead the Cornhuskers to the WNIT.
Prior to arriving at Nebraska, Brown spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Tulsa. In her first season at Tulsa in 2011-12, Brown helped the Hurricane to an eight-game improvement in the win column and their best Conference USA finish since 2005-06. A year later, Brown played a key role in helping the Hurricane capture the 2013 Conference USA Tournament title and advance to the NCAA Tournament. Tulsa finished with 17 wins, a four-game improvement over the previous year. The Hurricane returned to the postseason in 2013-14 with an 18-14 record.

In her second season on the Oklahoma staff, the Sooners advanced to the 2009 NCAA Women’s Final Four and finished with a 32-5 overall record. OU went 22-9 and advanced to the second round of the 2008 NCAA Tournament in Brown’s first season on staff.
