Boise State men’s basketball coach Leon Rice told the Idaho Statesman on Friday that associate head coach Phil Beckner is leaving the program to pursue another opportunity.
Beckner has been with the Broncos the past two seasons. He was credited as a key part of Chandler Hutchison’s development into a projected NBA first-round draft pick.
“Phil did a tremendous job here, and I am grateful for all that he accomplished,” Rice said. “He’s one of the best player development guys I’ve ever been around. I think that’s kind of his calling, and he really wants to move in that direction.
