A 1996 graduate of Miami, Brough served as a student manager with the mens team during the 1996-97 season and made the transition to administrative assistant the following year. While working with Miamis mens program, Brough was responsible for arranging team travel, developing recruiting materials, coordinating tape exchanges, writing scouting reports and assisting with team practices.

Outside of Miami, Brough has gained valuable coaching experience since 1996 as a basketball camp instructor at a number of prominent camps, including those of Wake Forest, Iowa, Southwest Missouri State, Cincinnati, North Carolina State and Virginia.

"I am eager to work with a young coach that has the drive and potential that Stephen possesses," says head coach Maria Fantanarosa. "Hes a Miami graduate that has a great deal of pride in the university and will be an excellent addition to our program."

Brough, who earned his masters degree in secondary education last December, will assist in recruiting, scouting, alumni relations and marketing, while assisting in developing the interior players.
