- Title:
- Graduate Manager
The 2024-25 season is Broome’s second as an assistant coach and fourth overall at Montana. He spent his first two years as the Director of Student-Athlete Development.
As the Director of Student-Athlete Development, Broome led Montana’s community service efforts and helped run an academic team that achieved a GPA over 3.0. He has close relationships with player development at all positions while also assisting with scouts, recruiting, and travel.
In his first year as an assistant, Montana finished 24-12 and won a postseason game for just the second time in program history. The Grizzlies reached the quarterfinals of the CBI, and also made it to the Big Sky Championship game.
Montana set program records for total scoring (2,768 points) and free throw percentage (79.2 percent) during the 2023-24 season.
Montana have put together a winning record in all three of Broome’s seasons with the team. The Grizzlies finished 17-14 (10-7 Big Sky) and reached the Big Sky Conference semifinals in 2022-23. In his first season at Montana, Broome helped Montana to an 18-14 record and an 11-9 mark in Big Sky play.
Broome played collegiately for Humboldt State University, appearing in four NCAA Regional Tournaments while finishing his career with a 90-32 overall record. He was voted his team’s most improved player in 2011 and most inspirational in 2012 while also serving as a captain.
After his playing career, Broome began coaching as the program director and head coach of the Humboldt Wild AAU team. He also coached JV girls basketball at Arcata High School, leading his team to a 19-0 record.
He started his collegiate coaching career at his alma mater, assisting with on court coaching as well as game and practice preparation. He also completed scouts while serving as the film and recruiting coordinator, in addition to being the co-director of summer basketball camps and being responsible for team travel.
He moved to Cal State Monterey Bay in 2015, again helping with on court coaching, practice prep, recruiting, scouts and team travel. This led to his first head coaching job at the College of the Redwoods in Eureka, Calif. He led the women’s team, hiring a staff and recruiting a 12-player roster that began with just two players.
Broome then moved to Sonoma State University as the head assistant, responsible for all scouting and the lead recruiter. He directed the day-to-day operations including practice and game plans as well as travel operations and budget.
After two seasons there, he became the associate head coach at Academy of Art University in San Francisco, helping to lead the team for a program record in wins in his first year on staff. He coached multiple All-Conference selections and his team reached the postseason for just the second time in program history.
