As a coach, from the Summer of 1996 through the Summer of 2010, he coached 18 different boys' grassroots teams through 15 grassroots seasons, winning three National Championships. During that same timespan, he was a 7th Grade Head Coach for two years, an 8th Grade Head Coach for two years, a Junior Varsity Head Coach for two years, and a Varsity Assistant Coach for a year, also all in boys' basketball. During the Summer of 2010, he accepted his first Varsity Head Coaching position in girls' basketball, and this past year he completed his 13th consecutive year as a girls Varsity Head Coach. He presently is an Associate Head Coach at the collegiate level, entering his first year in such a role. Additionally, Brandon is an Executive Board member of the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association, and he has served on polling committees, the All-State/Junior All-Star Committee, and the Top-100 selection committee for the IBCA. As of August 1st, 2019, Brandon began a 3-year term as a District II representative for the IBCA, plus he is responsible for the duties of awarding the weekly in-season Franciscan Health Player of the Week awards. He began his duties as an IBCA Executive Board member during the 2020-2021 season, but his official position began in August of 2021. As an evaluator, Brandon began by helping out the Indiana editor for 'The Hoop Scoop', a national boys' recruiting service, in the late 1990s. After a couple of years, he began publishing his own rankings and articles under the title 'The Hoosierland Report'. This was a boys' report as well. In January of 2007, Brandon created Scouting Indiana, and initially it was a public website that included rankings and articles. In September of 2008, it became a private recruiting service strictly for college coaches. Scouting Indiana was originally a men's recruiting service, but in the Summer of 2012, he added a women's recruiting service as well under the same Scouting Indiana designation. While his men's service ended in November of 2020, he continues to maintain his women's service, and he works directly with nearly 200 college programs in women's recruiting. He has also been a guest speaker at various leagues, camps, and showcases, and over the years he has operated tournaments, showcase events, and coaching clinics.
