JOHNSON CITY (TNN) -- East Tennessee State hired Brenda Mock Brown Monday as the Buccaneers' new women’s basketball coach. This comes one week after East Tennessee State announced that Simon Harris would be fired due to Title IX issues during his lone season.

Brown is the program's 10th coach. Between 2012 and 2020, she was UNC Asheville's women's basketball coach. She led the Bulldogs to four consecutive postseason berths in 2015 and 2019, and two consecutive Big South Tournament titles.
