Former NBA coach and longtime broadcaster Hubie Brown is in his final season calling NBA games, ESPN’s Content President Burke Magnus announced.

“We’re going to give Hubie one last chance at a game,” Magnus said of the 91-year-old Brown on the “SI Media with Jimmy Traina” podcast.

“He deserves that. We think he’s great. I think it’s absolutely remarkable the level he still calls games at people over 90.”

Magnus added that ESPN plans to honor Brown at some point during the regular season to “send him off in style.”

While Brown played in the league for a while, he began coaching high school basketball in 1955, where he would spend a decade before eventually taking assistant jobs at William & Mary and Duke.

Brown returned to the NBA in 1972, joining the Milwaukee Bucks staff to help coach a team that included Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others.

Brown spent two years with Milwaukee before moving to the ABA in 1974 to manage the Kentucky Colonels. He spent two more years there before the ABA merged with the NBA before the 1976-77 campaign.

Back in the league, Brown coached the Atlanta Hawks for five years, five seasons with the New York Knicks and finished his coaching career for three seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies.

As Brown jumped from coaching gig to coaching gig, he took on temp jobs between stints. For example, after he was fired by the Knicks, he was a television regular.

Brown was part of the NBA on CBS before Turner Sports purchased the league’s media rights in the early 1990s. He joined the Grizzlies in 2002, 16 years after his previous coaching job with the Knicks, although he left the job for medical reasons twelve games into the 2004-05 season.

From there, Brown returned to broadcasting, joining ABC for his league coverage, which included calling the 2005 and 2006 NBA Finals. He has not left ABC/ESPN since.

Basketball is a true passion for Brown, who continues to provide expert analysis during broadcasts. However, his personal life has been tumultuous lately. His wife, Claire, died in June at the age of 87. His son, Brendan, also suffered heart complications earlier this month at the age of 54.
