Brady was introduced as head coach of James Madison at a press conference on March 26 , 2008 . After leaving Marist , the school filed suit against Brady , arguing he had violated the terms of the contract by accepting the JMU job and bringing certain players with him to the Dukes . A jury found in favor of Marist , but did not award any damages . At Madison , Brady took over a program that had not had a winning record since going 20 – 9 in the 1999 – 2000 season under Sherman Dillard . In 2009 , Brady inherited an experienced core of upperclassmen from Keener and , with a skilled group of freshmen , engineered a respectable inaugural campaign , leading the Dukes to an 18 – 13 regular season record . Thanks to the addition of a new postseason invitational — the CollegeInsider.com Tournament — Madison achieved its first 20-win season since 1994 , when Hall of Fame coach Lefty Driesell led the program to the NCAA Tournament . The record dipped significantly in 2009 – 10 , in part because of the loss of two key players to injuries : point guard Devon Moore , an all-rookie pick in the CAA in 2009 , and forward Andrey Semenov . After up and down season in 2011 and 2012 , the Dukes won the CAA Tournament in 2013 after finishing in fourth place in the CAA regular season . As a result , they received the conference 's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament where they defeated Long Island in the First Four marking the school 's first NCAA Tournament win since 1983 . In the Second Round of the Tournament , they lost to No. 1 seed Indiana
