Pam Brown

Title:
Chief of Staff

Pam Brown joined Florida Women's Basketball as the team's chief of staff in April of 2026. Prior to moving to Gainesville, Brown served on Carolyn Krieger’s staff at Penn State for seven seasons, most recently as the chief of staff, but also as a director of basketball operations and assistant coach. In 2023-24, she helped guide the Lady Lions to the program’s first national ranking in nine seasons, its most victories (22) since the 2013-14 campaign, and a trip to the WBIT Final Four.

In 2024-25, Brown helped mentor Gracie Merkle, a three-time Big Ten Weekly Honor Roll member and All-Big Ten Honorable Mention recipient. Merkle produced 23 double-figure scoring outings including 15 point-rebound double-doubles.

Brown came to Penn State after spending the previous four years as the director of basketball operations at Marquette. As the team’s DOBO, Brown also served as the scouting coordinator, video coordinator liaison, statistical analyst, camp director and equipment coordinator and liaison, while organizing team shooting and practice schedules.

Before she made her way to Marquette, Brown was an assistant coach at Stetson where she helped lead the Hatters to the two highest win totals in program history at the time (24-9 in 2012-13, 27-8 in 2012-13), and a berth in the 2013 NCAA Tournament. Working primarily with the post players, Brown mentored Amber Porter to Atlantic Sun Defensive Player of the Year and first-team all-conference honors as she led the league in field goal percentage as a freshman.

Brown’s first coaching stops were at Miami (2007-09) as the program’s coordinator of basketball operations, at Winthrop (2009-11) as an assistant coach, and at North Texas (2011-12) where she pursued her Master’s Degree in recreation and leisure studies.

The Coppell, Texas native enjoyed a four-year career with the Charlotte 49ers basketball team where she was a two-year starter and an All-Atlantic 10 performer. Averaging better than 10 points per game in all four seasons, Brown finished her career with 1,443 points, 627 rebounds, and 114 assists. She was named to the first-team All-Atlantic 10 squad as a senior following a year in which she averaged 12.9 points and 5.7 rebounds while shooting 50 percent from the floor.

During her tenure at Charlotte, she helped guide the 49ers to two league titles and an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003. The program also made three-straight WNIT appearances from 2004-06.

A member of the Dean’s List, Brown graduated from Charlotte in 2006 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics.

In 2006-07, Brown played for the Celeritudo Tigers in Groningen, Holland, where she averaged 17.1 points and 11.0 rebounds per game. She shot 56 percent from the field, ranked third in the league in blocks, and was named to the league’s all-star team.
