Miscellaneous
Mike Brand grew up near Buffalo New York. Mike played the game growing up, but was not introduced to organized lacrosse until he was a freshman in high school. Following his high school and college playing career he was drawn into the coaching ranks. He spent some time playing the game and preaching the lacrosse gospel in England. After returning from England he began his college coaching career. His coaching experiences have taken him all over. Those of us in Texas are most familiar with his coaching career at Texas State, Reagan High School, Alamo Heights High School and the Tacos. This is a great discussion about his coaching career in general, his work at Texas State and the growth of the game in San Antonio.
