WASHINGTON, DC - George Washington head women's basketball coach Joe McKeown announced on Tuesday, August 30 that Mike Bozeman has been named assistant women's basketball coach. Bozeman, who led Bishop McNamara High School to a 151-35 (.812) record in six seasons, will assist McKeown in all aspects of the program.
"Mike is one of the top high school girls' basketball coaches in the country and I'm excited to have him join our program," McKeown said. "He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to GW and I think that it's a marriage that will benefit everyone."
From 1999-2005 Bozeman served as the head girls' basketball coach at Bishop McNamara in Forestville, MD and put the school on the national map. His 2003-04 squad was ranked No. 1 in the pre-season by Street & Smith's and was tabbed No. 2 in USA Today's pre-season poll. Bishop McNamara finished the year with a 27-1 record and a No. 3 ranking in USA Today's final girls' basketball rankings. Over the course of the 2003-04 campaign, Bishop McNamara claimed the Lone Star Invitational championship, the Dell Curry Invitational crown and the NIKE Tournament of Champions title.
The previous year, Bozeman guided the team to a 27-3 mark, a No. 1 final ranking by the Washington Post and the No. 19 position in USA Today's final rankings. That year the squad won the Bishop Walsh Invitational title and the DC City Title championship.
Under Bozeman's leadership, Bishop McNamara also won three consecutive WCAC regular-season titles from 2002-04 and the 2003 WCAC Tournament title.
As a result of his considerable success, Bozeman was named the Prince George's County Gazette's High School Coach of the Year in 2002 and was also selected as the WCAC Coach of the Year. In addition, he was named the WBCA District 6 High School Coach of the Year in 2004 and was selected to coach in the WBCA High School All-America Game.
Off the court, Bozeman founded the NIKE Elite Summer League and the DC NIKE Elite Girls' Travel Team in 2000 and 2001, respectively. In his role as director of both organizations he coordinated sponsorships, team recruitment, and scheduling, as well as performed other administrative duties. Bozeman is also in his first year as the president of the Center for Academic and Sports Excellence (CASE), an organization whose mission is to implement programs to help student-athletes become successful in the classroom, society, as well as on the playing fields.
Bozeman received his bachelor's degree in 1988 from Fairleigh Dickinson University.
