A little more than three weeks removed from being informed Steve Brown wasn’t returning, Bishop Brossart has found their new leader of the girls’ basketball program.
Aaron Stamm was named the next head coach on Monday, replacing Brown, who resigned on May 23 after three seasons with the team to take an assistant coaching position with Thomas More University.
Stamm comes over from Ludlow, where he coached the boys’ program the last three seasons, compiling a 53-40 record which included his 400th career victory this past season. He also led the Panthers to three straight NKAC Division III titles during that time.
Prior to coaching the Ludlow boys, he led the Ludlow girls from 2019-22 and was also the head coach for the girls’ team from 2004-10. In between those stints with the Ludlow girls, he coached at Conner from 2010-19.
In Stamm’s 21 years as a head coach, 18 of them have been with girls’ programs. With the Ludlow girls he won 173 games, reached the Ninth Region tournament six times and secured seven NKAC DIII titles. At Conner, he totaled 181 victories and five 9th Region tournament appearances and a 33rd District title in 2017.
“With over two decades of coaching experience in Northern Kentucky, Coach Stamm brings a wealth of knowledge and a proven track record of success to the Mustangs,” Bishop Brossart said in their press release of the hiring.
Stamm has won four Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches Coach of the Year awards in the Ninth Region. He’s a member of the Ludlow Sports Hall of Fame and the Northern Kentucky Sports Hall of Fame.
He inherits a Bishop Brossart team coming off a 10th Region championship appearance and a 37th District title. They’re expected to return seven of their top nine players that played in at least 26 games last season. They graduated Zoee Meyers and Zoey Woosley, Meyers the second leading scorer, Woosley the fifth, but returning leading scorer Kylie Smith enters as just a sophomore with Hadley Eviston and Rachel Shewmaker expected to be two more returning key pieces.
Brossart has won five 10th Region All “A” titles since 2019 and three of the last four 37th District titles to go with a 10th Region championship in 2021.
