The 2019-20 basketball season will be the 20th for Grady L. Brewer as the Morehouse College head basketball coach.

Brewer hit the coaching ranks in grand fashion, after serving as an assistant coach for 13 years under legendary Morehouse coach Arthur McAfee, who coached him in college.

During his 19 years as the Maroon Tigers’ head coach, Brewer has compiled a 299-227 record. His record sits behind Frank Forbes and Arthur McAfee, in Morehouse history. 

During the last 19 years, Brewer has continued the Morehouse basketball tradition as one of the top Division II basketball programs in the country. During that time he has led Morehouse to seven 20-win seasons, seven SIAC regular season championships, an SIAC tournament championship and three NCAA tournament appearances.

Last season, Brewer led Morehouse to a 20-5 record, including a No. 3 national ranking, the highest national ranking by a Maroon Tiger team in school history including earning back-to-back SIAC regular season titles and back-to-back SIAC Coach of the Year honors.

In 2017-18, Brewer guided the Maroon Tigers to an 25-3 record, a spot in the SIAC tournament semifinals and host of the 2018 NCAA DII South Regional. For the teams accomplishments, Brewer garnered The Clarence "Big House" Gaines Award award given annually by Collegeinsider.com to the most outstanding men's college basketball head coach in NCAA Division II.

An Atlanta native, Brewer played under the guidance of legendary high school coach Donald Dollar in the celebrated basketball program at Frederick Douglass High School. At Morehouse, Brewer lettered in each of his four years and started in his final two years.

As a coach, Brewer served as an assistant coach at Atlanta’s Booker T. Washington High School and helped lead the Bulldogs to the 1987 Georgia 4-AAAA state championship.

Brewer and his wife, the former Loletta Middleton, are the parents of three sons Ryan (Morehouse '10), Xavier (Sophomore at Morehouse) and Jordan.
