Promoted to associate head coach in May 2026 after helping lead the Cal Poly men’s basketball program’s emergence as one of the nation’s top offensive threats, Kyle Bossier is in his third season with the Mustangs.
Tasked with implementing and coordinating one of the nation’s top-ranked offenses, Bossier – who arrived at Cal Poly in 2024 alongside head coach Mike DeGeorge from Division II Colorado Mesa – has twice helped the Mustangs finish among the top 10 Division I programs for three-pointers made and attempted per game. With Cal Poly twice averaging 82.1 points per game and leading the Big West in conference scoring, the Mustangs have recorded 90-plus points 20 times with Bossier on staff.
“We want our style of play to make us as competitive as possible while reflecting the connectivity and togetherness of our group,” said Bossier, who also handles skill development planning, recruit evaluations and opponent scouting. ”Most importantly, we want to build a program our community can be proud of and I’m excited to continue contributing to that vision.”
During Bossier’s initial 2024-25 season with Cal Poly, the Mustangs reached the Big West Championship semifinals for the first time in 11 years while finishing third among 355 NCAA Division I programs with 11.5 three-pointers per game and 19th with 82.1 points per game. Cal Poly set new program single season records for total points, three-pointers and field goals.
Averaging 18.4 more points per game than the previous 2023-24 season – the most dramatic scoring reversal in the nation – Cal Poly’s 12-win improvement two seasons ago marked the fourth most successful turnaround in Division I.
The 2025-26 season marked another noteworthy campaign with Cal Poly finishing 10th nationally at 10.8 three-pointers per game and 19th with 358 total three-pointers. The Mustangs also recorded their highest Big West victory total in 13 years.
As the top assistant under DeGeorge at Division II Colorado Mesa (2018-24), Bossier (last name: “Bo-jhay”) helped the program to five NCAA Tournaments in six years with the program averaging 23 wins per season. With Bossier leading recruiting efforts at Colorado Mesa and active in scouting, player development and practice planning, Colorado Mesa captured three Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference regular season titles and two conference tournament championships.
“Kyle’s growth as a coach over the past 16 years has been incredible,” DeGeorge said. “(The promotion to associate head coach) reflects what his role in our program has become. He’s been a huge part of our success and I’m thankful for all he does.
“No one has worked harder or is more committed to the game of basketball and the players in our program. He’s a tireless worker with a great understanding of the modern game and how to prioritize analytics that impact winning.”
Bossier spent the 2017-18 season as the lead assistant with Linfield (McMinnville, Ore.), helping the Wildcats to a Northwest Conference Tournament berth and a 16-win season.
Completing his master’s degree in kinesiology from Saint Mary’s during the 2016-17 season, Bossier – as a graduate manager and video coordinator – was a part of a Gaels program that won a program-record 29 games and reached the second round the NCAA Tournament.
From 2012-16, Bossier was an assistant coach at UC Santa Cruz. With the Banana Slugs, Bossier coordinated recruiting, scouting, player development, fundraising and strength and conditioning endeavors. During his four seasons in which he worked under current Cal Poly assistant coach Ron Dubois, the program twice set school records for Division III wins in a season.
With Bossier beginning his collegiate coaching career alongside DeGeorge at Rhodes, the 2011-12 Lynx squad achieved the greatest turnaround in program history, improving their win total from seven to 18.
Bossier has also worked as a scout for the San Antonio Spurs, as a Director of Nike Summer Basketball Camps, as the owner of Slug Hoops Youth Basketball Training and as the head coach of Top Flight Elite U-16 AAU and U-15 Hoop Salem High Academic.
A native of Santa Rosa, Calif., Bossier played at Santa Rosa HS. He completed his bachelors’ degree from LSU in general studies with an emphasis in kinesiology, leadership and business management.
