Green Tech Charter School has appointed Will Brown as the new head boys’ basketball coach and Dean of Students. With two decades of coaching experience, including leading the University at Albany men’s basketball team to five NCAA tournaments, Brown aims to continue the school’s successful basketball legacy. He plans to implement a college-level program structure, fostering both academic and athletic development for student-athletes. As he takes the helm, expectations rise after the team’s recent accomplishments under former coach DJ Jones.

Exciting New Era for Green Tech Charter School Basketball Program

Albany has some thrilling news to share! Will Brown has officially stepped into a dual role as the new head boys’ basketball coach and Dean of Students at Green Tech Charter School. The big reveal took place during a press conference on August 26, 2025, and hopes are high for what Brown will bring to the Eagles.

A Coach with a Rich History

Will Brown isn’t just any coach; he comes with a treasure trove of experience. For two decades, he led the University at Albany men’s basketball team, where he made quite a name for himself. Under his guidance, the team reached the NCAA tournament not once, but five times, and snagged five America East titles along the way. With 315 wins during his tenure, his coaching career has been nothing short of impressive.

New Challenges and Opportunities

Despite his successes, Brown faced a few bumps in the road. He was let go after the 2020-21 season, following a challenging few years with a 33-47 record. However, he didn’t let that stop him. Brown quickly bounced back, becoming the head coach and general manager for the Albany Patroons in the 2021-22 season. His work with the Patroons earned him recognition as the National Coach of the Year in The Basketball League, proving he’s still got what it takes to lead a team.

After a brief stint with the women’s basketball team at Queens College in mid-2023—which ended just three months later—Brown was ready for his next challenge. Prior to Queens, he found success coaching the women’s team at The College of Saint Rose, leading them to an impressive 21-7 record, despite predictions they would finish at the bottom of their conference.

Replacing a Proven Coach

At Green Tech, Brown takes over from DJ Jones, who has had a highly successful run with a record of 118-39. Jones not only guided the Eagles to three consecutive Section II titles from 2022 to 2024 but also led them to a Class AAA state championship in 2024. With such a strong legacy, expectations are high for Brown to continue building on that success.

Goals for the Future

In his new roles, Brown sees a fantastic opportunity to positively affect student-athletes. He intends to bring college-level program structure to the high school environment, making sure that academic and player development go hand-in-hand. It’s all about ensuring that players can shine both on the court and in their studies.

Brown is also focused on keeping up the competitive spirit that Green Tech is known for. After finishing the last season with a 13-8 record, the team is gearing up for a few challenges ahead, particularly with roster changes expected due to the recent coaching shift. Nevertheless, he’s determined to develop the current players and boost the team’s competitiveness in the Section II league.

Looking Ahead

With the new chapter starting, the Green Tech Eagles and their fans can look forward to an exciting season ahead. Will Brown’s extensive coaching experience combined with his passion for mentoring young athletes suggests that he is poised to bring new energy and a fresh perspective to the team. Now the real work begins as everyone at Green Tech gets ready to embrace this new journey with optimism and hope for what lies ahead.
