Wesley Brooks is starting his second season as an assistant coach at Utah. Brooks has been an assistant on three other staffs across the country, including North Texas (2011-14), Texas Southern (2008-11) and Robert Morris (2007-08).
Brooks brings extensive assistant coaching experience to the U.
In the last four seasons at North Texas, Brooks helped the Mean Green transition into Conference USA from the Sun Belt Conference. From 2008-11, Brooks was an assistant coach at Texas Southern, where he was responsible for post player instruction, recruiting and scheduling among other duties. Brooks' first full-time assistant coaching position was at Robert Morris University in 2007-08. The Colonials qualified for the NCAA Tournament after winning a share of the Northeast Conference title.
He was a graduate assistant for two seasons at West Virginia from 2004-06 and helped the Mountaineers reach the 2005 WNIT Finals. He then spent a season as the director of women's basketball operations at WVU in 2006-07--a year in which the Mountaineers reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
Under Brooks' guidance, Loryn Goodwin of North Texas earned 2012 Sun Belt Freshman of the Year honors, Robert Morris' Sade Buley was named the Northeaster Conference Player of the Year, and two Colonials earned a place on the all-conference first team.
The Richmond, Va., native earned a bachelor's of science degree in broadcast journalism from WVU in 2004 as well as a master's of science in athletic coaching education from WVU in 2006.
