He has guided the Beavers to an NSIC North Division Championship in 2013-14 and has tutored one all-region student-athlete and five All-NSIC team members. Boschee’s 2013-14 team cut the nets down by winning its first NSIC North Division Championship His squad set a single-season record for of-fensive field goal percentage of 50.9 percent in 2013-14 during his second season at the helm, which is the best of all-time. Boschee’s 2013-14 team set a single-game record for offensive field goal percentage against Augustana College (S.D.) of 71.2 percent, which still holds today.

The winningest coach in his first two seasons with 36 wins and compiled a 36-21 overall and a 28-16 mark in NSIC action. In three seasons, Boschee already has two of the six 18-win seasons in BSU program history. In Boschee’s first season at BSU, his team knocked off three na-tionally ranked opponents. Boschee has coached five All-NSIC players and one NSIC Newcomer of the Year award winner. Has coached eight student-athletes to the NSIC All-Academic Team, including two athletes that were two-time honorees.

The 2015-16 Beavers concluded the season with a 10-17 overall record and a 7-15 conference record. They posted a winning home record by going 8-7 at the friendly confines of the Bemidji State Gymnasium. Senior guard DJ Anderson averaged 4.9 assists per game which was the fourth highest average in the conference. The men’s basketball team had four players named to the 2015-16 Winter NSIC All-Academic Team.

The Beavers went 18-9 overall and 15-7 in NSIC play in 2013-14 to earn a share of the NSIC North Championship – its second league title in three years. BSU recorded 18 wins for the sixth time in program history and the third season in a row for the first time in 92 seasons of Bemidji State basketball.

Producing a .500 record or better in four of the past five seasons, he compiled a 115-115 career record at Central (third all-time in wins) after inheriting a program that went 44-135 and failed to reach .500 in the eight seasons previous to Boschee stepping on campus as head coach. He led the Dutch to a 14-10 record in 2007-08, the first winning campaign in 12 seasons, before establishing a new program record for wins in a season in 2009-10. In his final three seasons Boschee led Central to the best record in the Iowa conference compling a record of 53-26 and 32-16 in conference play.

Boschee and the Dutch posted a 23-5 record in 2009-10 and brought the first outright IIAC championship to the Central campus in 25 years. In addition to the league championship, the squad made its ninth appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament after winning the program’s first-ever IIAC Tournament Championship. At the conclusion of the season, Boschee was rewarded for his efforts and was named coach of the year in the IIAC, Iowa Basketball Coaches Association and D3hoops.com West Region.

Under Boschee, 17 Central student-athletes earned all-conference laurels, including a conference most valuable player, while three team members were named academic all-conference.

He was named women’s golf coach of the year by the Minnesota Women’s Collegiate Golf Association (MWGCA) in 1998 and by the conference in 2000 and 2003. Boschee also served as a instructor in the Department of Health and Exercise Science at Gustavus.
