Doug Brotherton
Founder / Coach

Attended Marshall High School where he was a captain of an undefeated team that was ranked #2 in Class B by the associated press. Received the "Coach's Award" as a junior and the "Gatorade Will to Win Award" as a senior. From 7th grade through high school, accumulated a record of 100 wins to only 10 losses. Also worked numerous local camps and volunteered with the youth basketball program in his hometown. After high school passed on the opportunity to play basketball at a community college to pursue a head start in his coaching career. Brotherton began traveling the state to work numerous camps around Michigan.
Brotherton is currently enrolled at Central Michigan University and spent four years as a student-assistant coach with the men's basketball team. Some of his jobs have included; helping with recruiting, being present and involved at practices, putting together the "Rowdie Report," working with video, helping put together scouting reports, and doing any miscellaneous jobs that help in the running of a division 1 basketball program. Aside from his responsibilities with the men's basketball program, Brotherton spent one year as a member of the CMU women's basketball scout team.
In 2005, Brotherton landed his first formal position at Shepherd High School as the Freshmen girl's basketball coach. He led that team to a very successful 13-3 season. In his second season at Shepherd, Brotherton took a team that started 1-6, and went 8-4 down the stretch to finish 9-10. Following his first season at Shepherd, Brotherton coached a group of girl's from Sacred Heart Academy in Mount Pleasant. Christian Home Services sponsored the AAU team. Past experiences also include coaching an AYBT team of high school  senior boys from Marshall in the summer of 2004.
After the success at the freshmen level, Shepherd High School hired Brotherton to coach the Varsity Girls Basketball team. At the age of 21, he became the youngest varsity basketball coach in the state of Michigan. In his first year at the varsity level, Brotherton led Shepherd to their first district win in 31 years. In year two, Shepherd had their first non-losing season in 6 years. That was followed by another district win, the first time in school history that the girls basketball program had won a playoff game in back-to-back seasons.
