Brown arrived in Muncie in 2024 after serving three seasons at Pacific as an assistant and before that on the Eastern Illinois staff for a trio of seasons (2018-21). Overall, the Chicago native has 15 years of coaching experience at the collegiate level.
"I'm really excited to be able to add somebody of Justin's caliber to our program," head coach Michael Lewis said. "I think he's going to add value in several different areas, and I'm really looking forward to getting him and his family here to Muncie."
Brown works closely with the Ball State guards, including Jermahri Hill who was named Honorable Mention All-MAC following the 2024-25 season. Hill averaged 15.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game in his first season in Muncie while leading the league in free throw attempts (207).
A guard on NCAA Division II Southwest Baptist University who played on back-to-back Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association championship teams in 2008 and 2009, Brown joined the coaching staff at his alma mater for the 2009-10 campaign. He returned to his hometown in 2010-11 to be the boys basketball coach at Perspective Charter High School.
Brown has also spent four seasons on the coaching staff at South Plains Junior College and three at Utah State University-East Utah in his time on the sidelines.
