He also served as the junior varsity head coach at Sterlington.
Coach Mann is a graduate of Louisiana Tech University, where he earned a degree in Communication and Media Studies along with a Master’s in Education with a concentration in Secondary Social Studies.
“I want to sincerely thank Mrs. Jinks and Coach Thurman for this opportunity,” said Mann. “I’m excited to be part of the Glenbrook community and grateful for the chance to work with these student-athletes. I’m ready to get to work this offseason, focusing on fundamentals and building a competitive program that plays the game the right way. I believe in creating a culture where players compete with purpose and push each other to grow every single day. We’re going to work hard, have fun, and make the school and community proud.”
Coach Thurman added, “We are extremely excited to welcome Coach Mann to Glenbrook. The thing that really stood out during the interview process was his passion for the game along with his attention to detail and fundamentals. We are looking forward to watching our girls continue to grow in both their ability and love for the game of basketball.”
