Michael Chad Boudreau (born October 23, 1972)[1] is an American college basketball coach and is currently the head coach of the Western Illinois Leathernecks men's basketball team.[2]
Coaching career
[edit]Boudreau began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for the women's basketball team at Hannibal-LaGrange College, and would later become an assistant coach for the men's basketball team at Indian Hills Community College from 1999 to 2005 before joining Rob Jeter's coaching staff at Milwaukee.[3] He was on staff for the Panthers' upset of Oklahoma during the 2006 NCAA Tournament and was part of two Horizon League regular season titles and two tournament titles.
In 2016, Boudreau spent a single season as an assistant coach at Wisconsin-Whitewater before becoming the head coach at NJCAA institution Highland Community College.[4] He'd guide the Cougars to three-straight Arrowhead Conference titles, and would compile a 76–21 overall record.[2] In 2020, Boudreau would reunite with Jeter and join his staff at Western Illinois as associate head coach.
On April 13, 2023, Boudreau was promoted to head coach at Western Illinois when Jeter departed for the head coaching position at Southern Utah.[5][6][7][8]
