COLLEGE
Brad Kelleher played college basketball at Midland College during the 2007–08 and 2008–09 seasons before transferring to Hofstra University, where he was on the roster from 2009–10 to 2010–11 and appeared in games during the 2010–11 season as a senior guard from Victoria, Australia.
At Midland College, Kelleher played for one of the top junior college programs in the country and helped the Chaparrals reach the 2009 NJCAA championship game, with the team finishing 33–4 and being nationally ranked No. 6 in 2008–09.
As a Midland freshman in 2007–08, he averaged 10.6 points and 3.5 assists per game, and he ranked sixth nationally in three-point shooting percentage at 44% while earning all-conference honors.
In 2008–09 at Midland, Kelleher averaged 9.5 points and 3.3 assists per game while continuing as a backcourt contributor on a deep roster that advanced through the NJCAA postseason to the title game.
After arriving at Hofstra, Kelleher sat out the 2009–10 season due to a penalty from the NCAA amateurism clearinghouse, then returned to action for the Pride in 2010–11 under first-year head coach Mo Cassara.
In the 2010–11 season at Hofstra, he played 25 games and averaged 28.2 minutes, 7.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game, shooting 37.3% from the field, 33.7% from three-point range, and 76.3% at the free throw line.
Hofstra finished 21–12 overall and 14–4 in Colonial Athletic Association play in 2010–11, tied for second in the regular-season standings, won its CAA tournament opener, and then lost in the semifinals to Old Dominion.
The Pride later played in the 2011 College Basketball Invitational, where their season ended in a 77–70 first-round loss at Evansville, a game in which Kelleher logged 34 minutes with 9 points, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 rebound, and 4 turnovers while going 4-for-8 from the field and 1-for-5 on three-pointers.
