Kevin Bromley enters his sixth full season as head coach of the Mustangs after posting a 7-7 conference record last year and led the team to the Big West Conference Tournament semifinal game.

Four of Bromley's players earned all-conference accolades led by junior Derek Stockalper's first team selection. Sophomore Dawin Whiten earned second-team honors while Trae Clark and Chaz Thomas earned all-freshman honors.

Clark was eventually named the Big West Conference Freshman of the Year.

Had it not been for injuries to Coby Leavitt and Titus Shelton the Mustangs could have placed four players on the all-freshmen team.

Leavitt was limited to just seven games to start the season posting solid numbers against teams like Stanford and Colorado.

Shelton returned to the team late in the season and averaged 17.7 points and 7.5 rebounds in the conference tournament.

Bromley led the school to its first back-to-back winning seasons at the Division I level during the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons.

He guided Cal Poly to a 16-14 mark and a fourth-place finish (10-8) in the Big West in his second full season as head coach, leading the team to a Big West Conference Tournament Championship game appearance in the school's seventh year in the conference, falling short by three points of a NCAA Tournament appearance.

Bromley served six years as the Associate Head Coach and half of the 2000-01 season as the interim head coach before taking over the position as the head coach of the Mustangs on a full-time basis for the 2001-02 season. A familiar face on campus and in the community, Bromley has led the Mustangs to five Big West Conference Tournament appearances. As he starts his sixth full year of coaching the team, Bromley and his staff have the hopes of taking it beyond the first round in the years to come.

A tireless worker both during the season and in the off-season, Bromley will try to blend the 11 returnees with three newcomers, several of whom will impact the team right away. With all the experience returning, plus two Division I transfers, the Mustangs, under Bromley's leadership, should be competitive.

Arriving at Cal Poly in 1995 as the top assistant for coach Jeff Schneider, Bromley was quickly promoted to Associate Head Coach the following year.

Since his arrival from Southern Utah University where he was an assistant on Bill Evans' staff, Bromley has been a key figure in turning the program into one of the most dangerous offensive scoring teams in the conference and on the West Coast.

Spending time with the play of the Mustangs' backcourt, Cal Poly has been one of the top scoring teams in the Big West Conference for the past six seasons and is consistently ranked among the nation's best for offensive scoring per game.

Prior to arriving at Southern Utah, Bromley began his coaching career at Colorado State University from 1984-87 before moving to Chemeketa Community College in Oregon where he helped guide the team to a 56-7 record in two seasons, including a 33-0 mark in 1989 to capture the Northwest Community College Association title.

A 1983 graduate of Colorado State University with a degree in Physical Education, Bromley also earned his master's degree in Education Administration at CSU in 1984.

As a player, the Denver, Colo. native was a standout guard at Mid Plains Community College in Nebraska before taking his talents to Colorado State, where he continued to excel on the court, posting the fourth-best single season assist total ever while serving as a captain in 1982-83.

Bromley and his wife Stacey live in Arroyo Grande, along with his stepsons Chad and Cody.
