Career

Early career

After playing basketball forSiena,Brady worked as assistant atRhode Island,Wagner,andSaint Joseph's.

Marist

Brady was hired as head coach byMaristin 2004 and coached the Foxes for four years, finishing with a 73–50 record.He took the Red Foxes to aMAACregular-season championship in 2007. Marist then advanced to theNIT,where it defeatedOklahoma Statein the first round. The NIT victory was the first ever postseason victory for Marist.

James Madison

Brady was introduced as head coach of James Madison at a press conference on March 26, 2008. After leaving Marist, the school filed suit against Brady, arguing he had violated the terms of the contract by accepting the JMU job and bringing certain players with him to the Dukes.A jury found in favor of Marist, but did not award any damages.

At Madison, Brady took over a program that had not had a winning record since going 20–9 in the 1999–2000 season underSherman Dillard.In 2009, Brady inherited an experienced core of upperclassmen from Keener and, with a skilled group of freshmen, engineered a respectable inaugural campaign, leading the Dukes to an 18–13 regular season record. Thanks to the addition of a new postseason invitational—theCollegeInsider.com Tournament—Madison achieved its first 20-win season since 1994, when Hall of Fame coachLefty Driesellled the program to theNCAA tournament.

The record dipped significantly in 2009–10, in part because of the loss of two key players to injuries: point guard Devon Moore, an all-rookie pick in the CAA in 2009, and forward Andrey Semenov. After up and down season in 2011 and 2012, theDukeswon theCAA tournamentin 2013 after finishing in fourth place in the CAA regular season. As a result, they received the conference's automatic bid to theNCAA tournamentwhere they defeatedLong Islandin the First Four marking the school's first NCAA Tournament win since 1983.In the Second Round of the Tournament, they lost to No. 1 seedIndiana.

After another down season in2014,theDukesfinished in a first place tie in the CAA regular season, but could not win theCAA tournament,and received a bid to theCIT tournamentwhere they lost in the first round.

Despite a 21-win season in 2016, Brady was fired due to allegedly declining attendance at Dukes' games.

Recent years

Following his dismissal from the Dukes, Brady was hired as an assistant coach forLa Salle University.In July 2017, Brady was hired to be the Director of Player Personnel atMaryland.In 2018, he was promoted to assistant coach.
