The 47-year-old Brooks joins the Hokies after an impressive 14-season stint as head coach at James Madison University where he compiled a record of 337-122 (.756), making him the winningest coach in that school's history. Brooks guided the Dukes to 11 consecutive postseason appearances, including six NCAA bids and five trips to the WNIT. Under his direction this past season, JMU compiled a 27-6 record, including a 17-1 mark in conference play, as the Dukes made a third straight trip to the NCAA tournament.
"I'm confident that Kenny's competitive spirit will help elevate our program, while upholding the values we live and embrace at Virginia Tech," Babcock continued. "As a lifelong Virginian, Kenny possesses an appreciation for the passion of Virginia Tech fans, and is highly-respected in the basketball community. In our opinion, he's clearly the right individual to lead our women's basketball program into the future. He's the ideal fit."
Over the past 11 seasons at JMU, Brooks' squads have never won fewer than 24 games, averaging 26.3 wins per year over that span. The Dukes have won the past three Colonial Athletic Association championships under Brooks' tutelage and have captured five conference titles over the past seven seasons. He was named CAA Coach of the Year for a fourth time in 2015-16, while his student-athletes also garnered CAA Player and Rookie of the Year honors.
Coach Brooks sounds like he has an excellent track record, and we know he was high on Whit's list, probably his #1 choice. Welcome to Hokie Nation, Coach Brooks and family!
