Brian Ramon Johnson begins his third season with the Rider women’s basketball program. Johnson graduated from Drexel University in 1998 with a degree in Film and Video Production and spent one season with the Dragons men’s basketball program as a graduate assistant. Johnson served as an assistant coach at Towson University from 1999-2001, focusing on recruiting and individual skill development. Johnson went to the New York Liberty of the WNBA, working as an advance scout and assistant video coordinator and was an advance scout with the Washington Mystics. Johnson also worked at Morgan State and American University as an assistant coach before coming to Rider.
“Brian’s dedication to this program and to me are unquestionable,” said head coach Tori Harrison. “His hand shows up in every phase of my program. Whether it be in recruiting, scouting, skill development with players, whatever I need, Brian lends his expertise. His dedication to the players and Rider University are unmatched.”
“Coach Harrison is a dynamic head coach that provides strong leadership with grace,” said Johnson. “Her ability to communicate effectively with her players as well as her staff is outstanding. She is working to implement a winning mentality in the program and I am proud to work on her staff. It’s a tremendous opportunity to work with a great staff at a fine institution like Rider.”
A native of Washington, D.C. and an avid Washington Redskins fan, Johnson recently married Crystal Robinson and resides in Hamilton, New Jersey.
