Additionally, Brasel coached and recruited two NJCAA All-Americans, eight Academic All-Americans and sent at least one player to the Division I level every year he was at GCCC. His efforts also earned him Coach-of-the-Year honors from the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association, the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference and the NJCAA District E in 2003. Over his career at GCCC, Brasel’s players compiled a 98 percent graduation rate.
 
Prior to going over to the women’s side, Brasel served as an assistant coach on the men’s side at Garden City, New Mexico State and Howard Junior College. He earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in mass communication from the University of Texas at the Permian Basin in Odessa, Texas, in 1993. Brasel is a native of Big Spring, Texas.
