Coach Bill Coen of Northeastern University is a part of former BC coach Al Skinner’s coaching tree and has been a rumored candidate for the Eagles’ head coaching job. As a former BC assistant and experienced head coach in the Boston area, he would be an exciting choice to lead Boston College’s men’s basketball program.
Bill Coen has been the head coach of the Northeastern Huskies since 2006, posting a 250-220 (.532) overall record and a 154-106 (.592) conference record in the Colonial Athletic Association.
