2008-09 MEAC Champs ● 2009 MEAC Tournament Champs ● Mid-Major Coach of the Year
In just three seasons at the helm,
Todd Bozeman has posted one of
the most dramatic turnarounds in
NCAA history by turning “perennial
doormat” Morgan State into a
Mid-major power.
Bozeman is coming off his most
successful campaign with the Bears
and the most successful season
in the school’s Division I history.
Under Bozeman’s guidance,
Morgan State captured their second
consecutive regular season title and
won its first MEAC Championship
since 1977. The Bears completed
their magical run with a 13-3
conference record and a 23-12
overall mark.
Bozeman was named the MEAC
Coach of the Year and was selected
as the Hugh Durham Mid-Major
Coach of the Year.
Bozeman’s
Bears
recorded
top non-conference wins over
Marshall, DePaul, Maryland and
defeated Towson in an ESPN
BracketBusters matchup. Morgan
State also completed the season
16
ranked No. 23 in the Mid-Major
Top 25, No. 6 in the Washington
Post Atlantic 11 Poll, and No. 1 in
the Sheridan Broadcasting Network
(SBN) Black College Poll.
The Bears tallied eight wins at
Hill Field House and made its first
NCAA Tournament appearance in
school history as a No. 15 seed.
The Bears were led by the MEAC’s
top ranked point guard Jermaine
“Itchy” Bolden, who wrapped the
Bears’ historic season with a school
record 170 assists. Marquise Kately
and Reggie Holmes also played
pivotal roles in the Bears success
and they were named to the AllMEAC team and selected to the
National Association of Basketball
Coaches (NABC) All-District First
Team.
During the 2008-09 season, the
Bears reached the No. 17 position
in the College Insider Mid-major
polls and was ranked as high as No.
7 in the Washington Post Atlantic
11 poll.
After a 7-8 start, the Bears reeled
off an incredible eight straight
victories, equaling its longest
winning streak since 1975, and
closed out the regular season by
winning 13 of their last 14 regular
season games.
The team also proved it could
compete against some of the nation’s
best teams, as it suffered four-point
losses at UConn and Miami, and
were outlasted by Seton Hall by
8-points earlier during the season.
Morgan State men’s basketball
coach Todd Bozeman was selected
the 2008 Mid-Eastern Athletic
Conference Coach of the Year.
This is the first time since joining
the MEAC that Bozeman has
been named Coach of the Year
by the league’s coaches and sports
information directors. The last

award was head coach Nathaniel
Frazier in 1977.
The Bears finished with a 2211 regular season record, posting
the most Division I victories
in school history and the best
overall record in over 30 years.
The team, a preseason pick to
finish 4th in the league, won its
first-ever MEAC regular season
title and advanced to the league
tournament championship for
the first time since 1977.
Morgan State had never won
a regular season title at any level,
and its only previous MEAC
crown came in 1977 when it
won the conference tournament
en route to the Division II Final
Four.
Bozeman concluded the
year by taking the Bears to
their first Division I postseason
appearance in history when they
2009-10 Morgan State Bears Basketball •
earned a postseason tournament
appearance in the NIT.
Bozeman finished the season
with a career record of 98-64
in five seasons as a collegiate
head coach. He is 35-29 in his
two seasons as the Bears’ head
coach, including a sensational
21-4 mark in home games. In
fact for the first time in school
history the Bears finished the
season unbeaten at home as they
posted an impressive 12-0 mark
at Hill Field House.
Morgan State featured one
of the most dynamic rosters in
the league. The Bears had the
MEAC’s top ranked point guard
Jerrell Green in addition to one
of the top 3-point sharp-shooters
in the league with sophomore
Reggie Holmes. The Bears did
not have a single player selected

the 2008 MEAC Player of the Year
Jamar Smith, MEAC Defensive
Player of the Year Boubacar Coly,
and All-MEAC second team
selection Marquise Kately.
During the 2006-07 season
Morgan State was predicted to
finish 10th in the Mid-Eastern
Athletic Conference (MEAC),
however, Bozeman guided the
Bears to a 13-18 overall record and
finished tied for 3rd place in the
conference in his first season at the
helm.
Bozeman led the Bears to the
2007 MEAC Semi-Finals and
was one game away from the
Championship.
Bozeman, widely regarded as
one of the bright young minds in
basketball, began his coaching
duties April 27, 2006 and became
the 15th head coach in Morgan
State history.
Prior to joining the Morgan State
18 • “We Grind”
Bears, Bozeman spent two seasons
as a college basketball analyst
and conducted camps and clinics
in South America and Africa.
Bozeman also spent three seasons
in the NBA as the advance scout for
the Toronto Raptors where he not
only scouted upcoming opponents
but also coordinated and oversaw
the Summer Player development
program. Prior to the Raptors,
Bozeman spent a season scouting
for the Vancouver Grizzlies, who
are now the Memphis Grizzlies.
Bozeman also spent time
strengthening his ties with college
coaches and familiarized himself
with the top youth players as a
coach at the AAU level.
Bozeman took the college
basketball world by storm after
taking over the Cal program
in mid-season 1993; he led the
Golden Bears to an 11-2 finish
and a surprise berth in the NCAA
Tournament; including an upset of
defending national champion Duke
and a Sweet 16 berth to cap Cal’s
best NCAA Tournament run since
1960.
As the head coach of the
University of California-Berkeley,
Bozeman led the Golden Bears to
three NCAA Tournament bids in
four years, and was the youngest
coach to ever reach the NCAA
“Sweet Sixteen”. Within the Pac10, Bozeman’s Bears became the
first school in conference history
to win three straight games over
UCLA in Pauley Pavilion, and was
the first school to take back-to-back
games over Arizona in McKale
Center in more than a decade.
In four seasons as a head coach,
he led Cal to a 63-35 record (64.3
pct.) and guided the Golden Bears
to three top 4 finishes in the Pac10. Bozeman was instrumental in
building Cal into one of the elite

1987, serving as an assistant coach
at Potomac (Md.) Senior High
School for two seasons. he then rose
quickly through the ranks, moving
on to George Mason University as
a part-time assistant under coach
Ernie Nestor, before accepting a
position at Tulane.
Bozeman lettered four years
as a guard at Rhode Island under
coaches Brenden Malone and
Claude English. He was named the
Rams Most Valuable Player as a
sophomore in 1983, before an ankle
injury slowed him during his final
two seasons at the school.
Bozeman was born December 5,
1963 in Washington, DC and was
raised in Forestville, Maryland.

NBA stars Jason Kidd, Lamond,
Murray, Shareef Abdur-Rahim,
Sean Marks, Ed Gray,
Tremaine Fowlkes, Michael
Stewart and the college basketball
career of the NFL’s Tony
Gonzales.
Bozeman arrived at Cal in 1990
after spending two seasons as an
assistant to Perry Clark at Tulane
(1988-90). While a member of the
Tulane staff, Bozeman played a
major role in the rebuilding of the
Green Wave basketball program,
which was reinstated after a fouryear disbandment. He spent a total
of two seasons at the New Orleans
school, the first of which he spent
the majority of his time on the
recruiting trail, luring an impressive
group of prospects into the fold.

The fruits of Bozeman’s labor
were quickly realized as the
Green Wave shocked most college
basketball observers during their
first two seasons since the program
was reinstated. Tulane proved to
be quite competitive during that
first season back, including a
stunning upset of then 10th-ranked
Memphis State among its victories.
The Greenies followed that effort
by posting a winning slate, going
16-14, while posting wins over five
squads that went on to postseason
play. Leading the way for Tulane
was a pair of Bozeman’s prize
recruits, Anthony Reed and Kim
Lewis, who were each named Metro
Conference Rookie of the Year in
1990 and 1991, respectively.
Bozeman began his coaching
career upon graduating from the
