Introducing Coach Kareem Brown

I want to welcome and introduce Coach Brown to the Morris Catholic community! I met Coach Brown at the prestigious Five-Star basketball camps. I am excited and looking forward to having him as part of the Morris Catholic boys basketball coaching staff.

Kareem developed his love and passion for basketball as a kid playing against his brother in the backyard. A 2002 graduate of Immaculate Conception High School in Montclair, he is no stranger to success. At Immaculate he was a three sport athlete, participating in football, basketball, and outdoor track. During his senior year Kareem was All-State in football as a wide out, making the Paul Robeson EAST vs. West All-Star Classic and the North vs. South All-Star game. As a member of the track team he was the 2001 Long Jump Champion and 2002 High Jump for "Parochial B". On the court he was a three-year starter averaging 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists per game which earned him first team All-Conference honors and All-County accolades. He led his team to a 13-9 record and the school’s first county and state appearance since 1999.

He then went on to play college football at St. John’s University (NY). The program was then cut after his freshman year. He then turned to Intramural sports where he was a four time Intramural basketball champion and two time football champion. He then tried out for the basketball team during his junior and senior year. Finally making the team as a walk-on his senior year. He was unable to play due to eligibility issues.

While at St. John’s he earned a BS degree in marketing and a MPS degree in Sport’s Management. During that time he worked as a graduate assistant in the athletic department, intramural department, and as a summer basketball coach for the Norm Robert’s Basketball camp. He also worked as a youth coach and administrator at the legendary Five-Star basketball camp.
