Maryland men’s basketball assistant coach Brenton Petty was ready for his moment

If you stay ready you don’t need to get ready. That may be a cliché that’s thrown around in sports, but for Maryland men’s basketball video coordinator and assistant coach Brenton Petty, it’s a mantra he lives by.

It’s what’s shaped his basketball career – from playing to coaching.

Petty went to Fordham University for undergraduate school where he started as a team manager. One of his roommates who was on the team sprained his ankle, so Petty was asked to practice. Petty proved himself in practice that day and was asked to become a walk-on after.
