Clarence "Chucky" Brown Jr. (born February 29, 1968)[1] is an American men's college basketball coach and former professional basketball player.

A 6'7" forward from North Carolina State, Brown was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round of the 1989 NBA draft. Brown was on the active roster of 12 different teams, which was an NBA record shared with Joe Smith, Jim Jackson, Tony Massenburg, and Ish Smith; until Ish played with the Denver Nuggets, his 13th team, in the 2022–23 season.[2] He retired with 4,125 career points.

In addition to the NBA teams, Brown had stints in the Continental Basketball Association and Italy's Panna Firenze. He played three games for Panna Firenze in 1992. The CBA saw Brown play for the Grand Rapids Hoops in 1993 and Yakima Sun Kings in 1994 and 1995. He became the second player to earn both an NBA ring and CBA ring in the same season.

Brown served as head coach of the World Basketball Association's Raleigh Knights during the summer of 2004, then served two seasons as an assistant coach for the Roanoke Dazzle of the NBA Development League. In 2006, Brown was named an assistant coach for the NBDL's Los Angeles D-Fenders,[3] and was then promoted to head coach for one season. Brown lives in Cary, North Carolina with his wife and three daughters.[4]

On April 2, 2019, Brown was named head coach of the men's varsity basketball team at West Johnston High School in Benson, North Carolina.[5] In April 2022, Brown was named head coach of the men's basketball team at St. Augustine's University in Raleigh, North Carolina.[6]
