Kevin Bromley (born October 22, 1959) is an American former basketball coach, who was most recently an assistant at UC Santa Barbara. Bromley joined UCSB as an assistant coach in 2011. He was the head coach for Cal Poly from 2001âÂÂ2009, compiling an overall record of 99âÂÂ145.
Bromley played college basketball for Mid-Plains Community College and Colorado State. He graduated from CSU in 1983 with a bachelor's degree in Physical Education. He earned a master's in Education Administration a year later.
Bromley's first coaching job was as an assistant at Colorado State, beginning in 1984.
He would leave CSU to coach at Chemeketa Community College, where his teams had a 56âÂÂ7 record over two seasons.
After Bromley left Chemeketa, he spent time an assistant at Cal Poly Pomona and Southern Utah, before arriving at Cal Poly in 1995. When Cal Poly's head coach left in the middle of the 2000âÂÂ01 season, Bromley became the interim head coach. At the end of the season, Bromley was given the job full-time, despite a 4âÂÂ12 record as interim coach.
In 2002âÂÂ03, just his second full season as the Mustangs' head coach, Bromley's team went 16âÂÂ14, and reached the finals of the Big West Conference Tournament. The next three seasons were a struggle.
In the 2006âÂÂ07 season, Bromley's team was 19âÂÂ11, a record number of wins for Cal Poly in its Division I era. They again reached the championship game of the Big West Tournament, but were defeated.
Bromley was fired by Cal Poly following the 2008âÂÂ09 season, in which he led the Mustangs to a 7âÂÂ21 overall mark and a 3âÂÂ13 Big West record. Bromley's overall head coaching record was 99âÂÂ145.
Subsequently, in May 2010, he joined UC Santa Barbara as an assistant coach. After helping UCSB advance to the NCAA Tournament in 2011, Bromley was fired along with head coach Bob Williams after recording a 6âÂÂ22 record in 2017. He then transitioned into a role of director of development at UCSB, coordinating various fundraising efforts for the Gauchos' athletic department.
