Promotions and Background
Cal Poly’s basketball program revealed a pair of strategic appointments that signal a continued emphasis on offensive innovation and defensive rigor. Kyle Bossier will step into the role of associate head coach for the 2026‑27 season, while James Andrisevic transitions from tactical analyst to assistant coach.
Bossier’s ascent is rooted in a track record of elevating the Mustangs’ scoring output. Under his guidance the team cracked the nation’s top ten in both three‑point makes and attempts, and the squad posted 20 games with 90 or more points over the past two seasons. His new responsibilities will center on coordinating an offense that has consistently ranked among the country’s most potent.
Andrisevic arrives with a résumé that blends international coaching stints with NBA championship experience. Having served within the Golden State Warriors organization during their 2015 and 2022 titles, he brings a championship pedigree to the collegiate ranks. His prior work as a tactical analyst honed his ability to dissect practice and game film, a skill set he will now apply to overseeing defensive progress and individual player development.
The coach’s global background further enriches the program. Andrisevic has logged coaching experience in Japan, Slovakia, and Norway, where he directed the youngest roster in the Norwegian league to a runner‑up finish in 2012. This international perspective is expected to broaden recruiting horizons and infuse the team with diverse tactical insights.
Together, the two hires underscore Cal Poly’s ambition to sustain momentum while addressing both ends of the floor. The athletic department expressed confidence that Bossier’s offensive acumen paired with Andrisevic’s defensive expertise will position the Mustangs for continued growth and competitiveness in the coming season.
