UNIVERSITY OF RICHMOND, Va. - Baltimore native Jamal Brunt has been named assistant coach at the University of Richmond, head coach Chris Mooney announced.
Brunt, a former standout at Randolph Macon College in Ashland, Va., was director of basketball operations at Richmond for the past two years. He was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the basketball office, including organizing the recruiting database and team travel.
"This is a well deserved promotion for Jamal," Mooney said. "He has done a lot for the program over the last two years and his knowledge of the game, from both his coaching and playing background, make him a tremendous asset to us."
Before joining the Spiders basketball staff in the summer of 2005, Brunt was an assistant coach at his alma mater for the 2002-03 and 2004-05 seasons.
At Randolph-Macon, Brunt was involved in all aspects of coaching, including player development, recruiting, monitoring academics, film exchange and breakdown, opponent scouting and on-court coaching. He has also served as a counselor for basketball camps at Randolph-Macon.
Brunt was a four-year starter at Randolph-Macon, helping the team to the Division III NCAA Sweet 16 as both a junior and senior. The Yellow Jackets were ranked as high as No. 1 in the nation in both his junior and senior year and the 2002-03 squad won the Old Dominion Athletic Conference championship.
A native of Baltimore, Md., Brunt graduated from St. Frances Academy where he was named honorable mention All-Catholic League and was team captain and MVP as a senior.
Brunt received a bachelor's degree in international relations with business economics from Randolph Macon in 2003.
