Kip Drown is entering his third season as head coach at Colorado State University-Pueblo. In his two seasons with the Pack, Drown has posted a 36-22 record, leading the T-Wolves to back-to-back RMAC Tournament semifinal appearances.

In 2006-07, CSU-Pueblo went 17-10 overall and 13-5 in conference play as it won its first-ever RMAC West Division title and garnered the number-two seed in the RMAC Tournament.

In his first season with CSU-Pueblo, he led CSU-Pueblo to a 19-12 record and its first-ever Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Shootout crown.

Drown came to the Pack after positions at Grand Canyon, Georgia Southwestern State and Southwest Baptist.

At Grand Canyon, Drown turned around the ‘Lopes program, building a team that earned a bid to the NCAA West Regional Tournament in 2003-04. In four years, he brought the team from only four wins in the year before he arrived to a 16-12 record in 2003-04, earning CCAA Coach of the Year Honors for his efforts.

Prior to that, Drown was the head coach at NAIA-Georgia Southwestern State, going 151-71 in seven years. His teams earned five trips to the NAIA National Tournament, and were frequently ranked in the top 25.

The rest of Drown's head coaching resume comes from a six-year stint at Southwest Baptist University. There, he again built a floundering program into a proven winner, earning four entries into the MIAA Conference tournament, the first four such appearances in school history. His team at Southwest Baptist, after fighting through the growing pains associated with a jump from NAIA to NCAA Division II, went on to post a 47-35 record over his last three years with the program, earning the school's first-ever weekly national ranking (11th in 2001).

His 19 years as head coach at the collegiate level, his 304-239 record make Drown the most-experienced and winningest women's basketball coach in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.

Drown earned his bachelor's and master's degrees from Southwest Missouri State University.
