I have heard that former Air Force player Derek Brooks will be hired as an assistant women’s basketball coach at the Academy. The 6’5 forward played at Air Force from 2008-2011. His senior year, he won the Bob Spear Award, given to the student-athlete that is outstanding in all areas of the Academy – academics, athletics and military performance. There is no higher honor for a men’s basketball player. Look for an official announcement here in the next few days.
