Assistant coach Blaine promoted to

head men’s coach at College of Idaho

CALDWELL -- College of Idaho athletic director Reagan Rossi announced that associate head coach Colby Blaine was named the 16th men’s basketball head coach in Coyote program history.

Blaine replaces Scott Garson, who resigned after five seasons to accept an assistant coaching position at NCAA Division I Santa Clara.

In Blaine’s four seasons at C of I, including the last two as associate head coach, the Coyotes have advanced to three NAIA Division II national tournaments, reaching the national quarterfinals in 2015 and the national semifinals in 2018. The Yotes were a combined 101-36 with Blaine on the bench.

Blaine, a Boise High grad and 2009 graduate of Montana Western, began his coaching career at his alma mater under Steve Keller, before spending five seasons as an assistant at the College of Southern Idaho. At CSI, he helped the Golden Eagles win three Region 18 titles and the 2011 NJCAA national title, compiling a combined 137-33 record.

Coming off a 30-7 season and a Cascade Conference title, the Yotes return three starters and eight players for the upcoming 2018-19 season.
