Braica attended St. Agnes High School from 1980–82 and Bishop Ford in Brooklyn from 1982–84.[2] Braica went on to Queens College and played for the Knights from 1984–88 as a point guard. At Queens College, Braica met Norm Roberts and became great friends; that would later lead to Roberts hiring Braica as his assistant at St. John's University.[3] Prior to St. Johns's, Braica was an assistant coach for Ron Ganulin at St. Francis College, where in Braica's last seven years, the Terriers posted a 118-83 record, including an 88-42 mark in the Northeast Conference.
Other notable accomplishments during Braica's tenure as an assistant at St. Francis include finishing with a .500 or better record in the league seven straight years, at that time the longest active streak in the league. They also reached the NEC semi-finals five times and had two championship game appearances in Braica's last five seasons.[4]
While at St. John's, Braica helped lead the Red Storm to two NIT bids.
On April 29, 2010, Glenn Braica was announced as the 17th head coach in the history of the St. Francis Terriers men's basketball program. He replaced Brian Nash, who resigned for personal reasons on April 7, 2010.[1] In Braica's first season as head coach, the Terriers qualified for the NEC tournament as the 5th seed.[5] They then lost in the first round of the NEC Tournament. Under Braica, Akeem Bennett became the first Terrier selected to the NBA D-League.[6]
