A New Chapter for Will Voigt
Will Voigt, the architect of the innovative ‘peel switch’ defensive scheme, announced his departure from Brigham Young University to accept an associate head coach position at Boise State. In a brief statement, he expressed excitement about returning to Boise and re‑entering the Pac‑12 Conference, a league he has long followed.
Voigt’s career spans the NBA, multiple college programs and international stints, giving him a rare blend of professional and collegiate experience. His defensive concepts have influenced several modern schemes, and his move is expected to bolster Boise State’s tactical depth as the Broncos prepare for their inaugural Pac‑12 season.
The addition comes as Boise State officially joined the Pac‑12 on Wednesday, marking a significant realignment in collegiate athletics. Conference officials highlighted the hire as a strategic infusion of coaching expertise that aligns with the league’s competitive ambitions.
At BYU, Tim Fanning continues to serve as associate head coach, while assistant coaches Brandon Dunson, Chris Burgess and John Linehan remain part of the Cougars’ staff. Former NBA head coach Leon Rice and Jeramiah Dickey are also listed among the program’s support network, underscoring the breadth of Voigt’s professional connections.
