Kevin Broadus
2009 America East Coach of the Year

In two short seasons, Kevin Broadus has vaulted Binghamton’s basketball program to the top of the America East Conference and along the way, has ignited an explosion of school spirit and pride throughout the Binghamton community. After directing a three-game improvement in his first season in 2007-08, Broadus raised the bar even higher in 2008-09. His Bearcats completed a remarkable regular season by capturing the school’s first-ever conference title in 63 years as a sport at the University. After defeating opponents from the Big East, Conference USA and MAAC in the non-conference schedule, Binghamton stormed through the America East slate at a 13-3 clip, capping an undefeated February with a title-clinching home court win in front of a sellout 5,222 fans at the Events Center. All season long, fans flocked to the state-of-the-art facility, easily securing the program’s sixth consecutive America East attendance crown. The season was capped with an historic NCAA first round encounter with Duke - a game that was seen by millions of basketball fans across the country as CBS's highlighted late game on March 19.

Broadus had to replace three starters, two conference all-stars and mesh a team filled with newcomers in 2008-09. His Bearcats were picked to finish fifth by opposing coaches in the America East preseason poll, and trade publications and skeptical observers alike predicted an implosion of talented individuals unable to play as a team. But Broadus and his team defied all naysayers by winning a school-record 10 consecutive games down the stretch to post the program’s first 20-win season as a Division I program and just the second in school history. Despite losing his top recruit to injury and facing several roster defections in midseason, Broadus kept his team on track with his “check your egos at the door” team-first approach. His sincere and personal bond with his players, the fans and the University has endeared him to the campus and community, who seem to clamor for a moment with this rising star.

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. The 2006-07 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 online publication hoopscooponline.com on its 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 résumé, 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 (25), Milan (16), Paris (15) and Kevin Jr. (13).
