Alum Austin Pidgeon ‘08 to Coach Freshman Basketball

Brophy alumni and current Dean of Student Support Services Austin Pidgeon will rejoin the Brophy basketball staff this season as the Head Freshman Coach.

“We are excited to have Coach Pidgeon (BCP '08) rejoining our coaching staff next season as our head freshman coach,” said Varsity Head Coach Matt Hooten. “His previous experience on our staff as a varsity assistant and then head JV coach makes him uniquely suited to build the foundations of what it takes to be successful as a high school basketball player.  Additionally, as a Brophy basketball alum, Coach Pidgeon brings a sincere passion for our program and a deep appreciation for what it means to wear the Brophy jersey.  We are looking forward to having him back on the sidelines next season!

Coach Pidgeon ’08, who grew up in Phoenix, attended Brophy and played basketball for the Broncos under coaches Mark Granger '86 and Tony Fuller. He went on to Santa Clara University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in English, and then attended San Francisco State University, earning a Master of Arts in Literature. 

Coach Pidgeon returned to Brophy in 2014 as a member of the English Department. In his tenure as a basketball coach at Brophy, he has coached at all three levels of the program, including three years as a varsity assistant coach and two years as the head coach of the JV team. In addition to his current role as the head coach of the freshmen basketball team, Coach Pidgeon serves as Brophy’s Dean of Student Support Services. 

He will lead a staff including returning coaches Bill Woods, Bob Hann, and Aldalberto Diaz.
