Brian Silk is entering his 10th season as the assistant coach of the St. Thomas women's basketball team in 2022-23.
Silk's Tommies took a big step forward during the 2022-23 season, including a strong finish to the season that included the program’s first NCAA Division I postseason victory. St. Thomas recorded a 61-50 win over Western Illinois during the first round of the Summit League Championships which was part of five wins over the final seven games of the season. The Tommies recorded their first weekend sweep Jan. 12 and 14 against Kansas City and Oral Roberts, before completing the team’s first season series sweeps over UMKC and ORU to begin its strong finish to the regular season. St. Thomas capped its regular season with a double-digit comeback victory over North Dakota, 74-68, on senior day. Maggie Negaard completed her two-year career with the Tommies as an All-Summit League Second Team selection, finishing the season 15th in the country in 3-point percentage. The Tommies totaled four selections to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team in Negaard, Phoebe Frentzel, Jade Hill and Jordyn Lamker.
Silk works with the post players and helped with the development of St. Thomas All-Americans Maggie Weier, Kaitlin Langer, and Hannah Spaulding.
Coach Silk has been a head and assistant coach for both boys and girls high school basketball. Most recently, Coach Silk was an assistant with the highly successful Eastview High boys' program in Apple Valley, Minn.
