Hubie Brown has been narrating to basketball fans over the last four decades. Prior to his broadcasting career, though, Brown was a coach for the first part of his professional career. He coached at academies and universities from the mid-50s to the early 70s before being hired by the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks as an assistant coach in 1972.

His first head coaching gig came in the ABA for the Kentucky Colonels in 1974, which led to a championship in 1975. Once the NBA and ABA merged, Brown was hired by the Atlanta Hawks in 1976 and earned NBA Coach of the Year in 1978. Brown also coached for the New York Knicks and the Memphis Grizzlies, earning a second NBA Coach of the Year award in 2004 before unexpectedly resigning the following season.

While there is not an abundance of cards featuring Brown, with a career spanning so many eras there are a handful that have been produced over the years.
