The Wizards announced Tuesday that Chad Iske, Mike Terpstra and Maz Trakh also will be assistants to Brooks.

Brooks replaced the fired Randy Wittman after the team failed to make the playoffs last season, finishing 41-41 and 10th in the Eastern Conference.

Brown will be Brooks' top assistant after working for the Nets the past two seasons, including 45 games as their interim head coach. He's also been an assistant with seven other NBA clubs.

Brown played at Arkansas from 1978-82.
