Mike Bozeman is in his third season as an assistant coach with the George Washington University women's basketball program. Bozeman, who assists head coach Joe McKeown in all aspects of the program, helped the Colonials to a trio of victories while serving as interim coach during the record-setting 2006-07 season, including an upset of eighth-ranked Georgia and a title at the San Diego Surf `N Slam Classic.
"I consider it an honor and my pleasure to work for Coach McKeown and the George Washington University," says Bozeman. "Coach McKeown is an icon in the sport and has made great contributions to the advancement of the game."
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, leading the team to a 151-35 (.812) record in six seasons.
His 2003-04 squad was ranked No. 1 in the preseason by Street & Smith's and was tabbed No. 2 in USA Today's preseason 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 performing administrative duties. Bozeman also is 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 and society, as well as on the playing fields.
Bozeman played two seasons at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Teaneck, NJ, earning ECAC Metro Conference All-Newcomer status in 1987 and helping the Knights to the NCAA Tournament as a senior in 1988. Prior to FDU, Bozeman attended College of Southern Maryland, formerly Charles County Community College, where he led the Hawks to a 26-4 record and earned first team all-conference accolades.
Bozeman received his bachelor's degree in sociology in 1988 from FDU. Bozeman resides in District Heights, MD, with his wife of 13 years, Wendy, and their family. The couple has five daughters: Nikki (21), Dominique (16), Mikell (11), Taylor (10), and Sydnee (5).
