Kevin Broadus

After orchestrating a three-game improvement in the America East and a resurgence in local support, Kevin Broadus begins his second season as the head coach of the Binghamton basketball program in 2008-09.

The former Georgetown assistant and recruiting whiz quickly put his stamp on the Bearcats’ program in 2007-08. The team matched Broadus’ intensity and focus, and jumped up two spots in the conference standings while drawing record attendance numbers at the Events Center.

Now with a fresh crop of talented recruits, Broadus is poised to continue the program’s ascent to the top of the America East.

At Georgetown, Broadus worked alongside head coach John Thompson III, and the Hoyas’ recent national resurgence is a direct result of his recruiting success in the D.C. metro area. Last year’s squad went 30-7 and won both the regular season and postseason Big East titles before advancing through the first four rounds of the NCAA tournament to the Final Four. The 2005-06 team went 23-10 and reached the NCAA “Sweet 16” and the 2004-05 team went 19-13 and advanced to the NIT quarterfinals.

Broadus was introduced as Binghamton’s new head coach on March 26, 2007, just days before coaching Georgetown in the Final Four. Also, in the same month he was ranked No. 6 by on-line publication hoopscooponline.com on their list of the Top 100 Assistant Coaches in the College Game Today.

Prior to Georgetown, Broadus was an assistant coach at George Washington for three years. In 2003-04, his Colonials team won 18 games and was selected to the NIT. From 1998 to 2001, he was on the staff at American University and also had coaching stints at University of the District of Columbia (1994-97) and Bowie State University (Md.) (1990-93).

Broadus is known as an excellent recruiter and four of his former recruits are playing in the NBA. Three of his players from his time at George Washington were on NBA rosters in the 2006-07 season. Mike Hall played for the Washington Wizards, Pops Mensah-Bonsu played for the Dallas Mavericks and Danilo ‘JR’ Pinnock was with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Broadus’ most-accomplished recruit is former Georgetown forward Jeff Green. He coached Green over a three-year span in which Green won Big East Co-Rookie of the Year honors, Big East second-team all-conference honors and the Big East Player of the Year award. Green and Broadus’ Hoyas had a 30-7 record in 2006-07 and made it to the NCAA Final Four. Green was drafted fifth overall in the 2007 NBA draft by the Boston Celtics and was involved in a draft day trade, shipping him to Seattle.

Broadus earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Bowie State in 1990 and went on to receive his master’s degree in counseling from UDC in 1995.

He was a three-year letterwinner at Bowie State, earning conference all-rookie honors in 1984 and leading the team in scoring as team captain in his senior season. He played his first collegiate season at Grambling University in Louisiana. Broadus attended Dunbar High School in Washington, D.C. and Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Md.

In addition to his college coaching resume, Broadus has worked as a summer camp coach and counselor for both the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks. He also served four years as a research assistant at the National Institute of Health in Bethesda.

Broadus and his wife, Belinda, have four children: Nicol (24), Milan (15), Paris (14) and Kevin Jr. (12).

A Bronx native, Allen has had collegiate coaching stints at Howard University (2003-04), Northeastern (2001-02), Towson (1999-01), McNeese State University (La.) (1998-99) and Long Island University (1995-98). Allen was responsible for recruiting many of the players who led the McNeese State Cowboys to back-to-back Southland Conference regular season titles in 2000-01 and 2001-02.
