A New Chapter for Boise State Basketball
Matt Charles, who had been overseeing day‑to‑day operations for the Boise State Broncos, is now stepping onto the sideline as an assistant coach. His transition marks the culmination of a four‑year tenure defined by three 20‑win seasons and a 68‑34 record that yields a 66.7% win rate.
During his time in Boise, Charles played a pivotal role in the team’s defensive rebounding surge, helping the Broncos rank tied for 11th nationally and first in the Mountain West Conference for rebound margin. This emphasis on the glass has become a cornerstone of the program’s identity.
From Oklahoma State to the Mountain West
Before arriving in Boise, Charles spent six years at Oklahoma State, progressing from student manager to head manager and then graduate assistant. That period honed his analytical skills and deepened his understanding of player development, qualities he now brings to the Broncos.
Head coach Leon Rice praised the move, noting that Charles’s blend of operational insight and on‑court experience will reinforce the team’s defensive schemes as they aim to contend again in conference play. The Broncos look to build on their recent success, leveraging Charles’s rebounding expertise to maintain momentum.
