Assistant Coach Girls Meet Coach Cassie Bro

Basketball has been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve loved the game since I was young, drawn to the teamwork, skill variety, and the many ways a player can shine. Basketball has taught me about work ethic, resilience, and has led me to incredible friendships and experiences across the world.”

After starting her coaching journey as a grad assistant at Barry University, Coach Bro moved on to coach at the Air Force Academy, then returned to Barry as a recruiting coordinator. She later transitioned to high school teaching and coaching, first at Centennial High School in Boise, Idaho, before coming to Buford. Since joining Buford, Coach Bro has earned her master’s and specialist degrees and is now working toward her Doctorate. Her commitment to learning and growing as a coach is fueled by the opportunity to work with Gene Durden, whose practice style left a lasting impact on her.

Originally from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Coach Bro’s family is still on the West Coast, with loved ones in Idaho, Washington, and Arizona.

For Coach Bro, the heart of coaching is in building relationships. “I believe in connecting with players on a personal level. Understanding their motivations is key, and a simple conversation, a smile, and a genuine connection make a difference. Being a teacher and coach means impacting youth every single day, which is the most rewarding part of my work.”

Coach Bro is thrilled to continue her journey with Buford, fostering both athletic and personal growth in her players. Let’s make this season unforgettable! Go Wolves!
