Texas Tech assistant football coach Dave Brown died of an apparent heart attack Tuesday afternoon, an athletic department spokesman confirmed.
Brown collapsed while playing basketball at a campus recreation center, media relations director Chris Cook said.
Brown coached the defensive secondary for Texas Tech since 2001. He previously coached the secondary for the Seattle Seahawks, for whom he was an All-Pro defensive back. Brown played 16 years in the NFL with Seattle, Pittsburgh and Green Bay and is enshrined in the Seahawks' Ring of Honor.
