Kelly Boe led the Golden Bears to their best season in school history in 2006-07 and the best season at the Division II level with the 21-8 overall record last season.  Concordia also had its best finish in the NSIC with a 13-5 overall mark and a tie for third in the final conference standings.

Prior to being named the school’s eighth coach in school history on April 13, 2006 , Boe spent the  two years as the top assistant for the Bears, helping to guide the squad to consecutive winning seasons with a 34-23 overall record.

As an assistant, Boe worked primarily with the defense and post players while also doing extensive work in recruiting. In each of his first two seasons at Concordia, Boe worked closely in the development with two inside-out post players, Justin Vandenberg and Ty Thomas, with each earning all-conference honors during their senior seasons.

Boe helped to turn the Concordia defense from eighth in the NSIC, when CU allowed 80.3 points per game in 2003-04 to a league-best 65.3 points per game last season. He was also an integral part of an 11 game turnaround as the squad posted 18 wins in his first season on the coaching staff.

While defense is a top priority, Boe will also look to build a more balanced offensive attack. "We are going to look to spread the ball around more and have four or five players average in double-figures," Boe commented on what to expect from his coaching style.

Boe's background includes two successful NCAA Division II assistant coaching runs with St. Cloud State University (1997-99) and Minnesota State University, Mankato (2001-03). While with SCSU, Boe worked primarily with scouting and recruiting and assisted in recruiting two-time North Central Conference Most Valuable Player Forrest Witt, who is now the top assistant coach on the CU staff.

In between his two NCAA DII stints, Boe had a two year stop at Madison Area Technical College, where he was an assistant for one season before taking over as head coach and guiding the squad to a Wisconsin Technical College League title in the 2000-01 season.

At Minnesota State, Boe was involved in all aspects of the day-to-day operations of the coaching staff, but primarily worked with scouting and recruiting.

He started his career at St. John's University as an assistant coach where he was able to learn under Jim Smith, who is the all-time winningest collegiate basketball coach in the state of Minnesota.

Boe has a master's degree in sports management from St. Cloud State and a bachelor of science in education/sports management from St. John's University.
