Brown, Lakeview parting ways
Placeholder Image
Buster Brown has coached his last basketball game at Lakeview Academy.

Brown has declined to comment and school officials have failed to return phone calls seeking information on what led to the veteran coach’s departure.

Brown coached the Lakeview girls for 10 seasons and has been a head coach for 35 years. His high point with the Lady Lions came in 2005, when he guided them to the Class A Final Four.

Lakeview finished the 2009-10 season with a 12-12 record, missing the playoffs for just the second time in the last seven seasons.
