Harrisonburg, VA -- (Sports Network) - James Madison University has tabbed Matt Brady as its new men's head basketball coach, with a formal press conference set for Wednesday.

Brady has spent the last four seasons as the head coach at Marist, where he compiled a 73-50 mark. The Red Foxes went 18-14 this season, one year after capturing the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference regular-season title. The Red Foxes won a school record 25 games in 2006-07, including an NIT victory over Oklahoma State.

Prior to taking Marist's head coaching position, Brady was a Division I assistant coach for three different teams over 17 seasons.

"We are excited about the hiring of Matt Brady as our men's basketball coach and the future of the JMU program under his direction," said Jeff Bourne, JMU's athletics director. "He's an energetic, hard-working young coach whose background demonstrates he can coach, teach and attract student-athletes at a challenging level of play. Matt has proven himself at the assistant coach's level and has had outstanding success as a head coach while building the Marist program; we feel he is an excellent fit at JMU."

Brady replaces Dean Keener, who resigned February 22. The Dukes completed the 2007-08 campaign with a 13-17 mark and were eliminated during the opening round of the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament.
