Rick Boyages (b. March 15, 1962) was the head coach for the William & Mary Tribe men's basketball team from 2000-2003.[1] He compiled a 33-52 overall record (21-31 in the CAA) during his three seasons as coach.[1] Prior to taking the position at W&M, Boyages started his coaching career at age 24 at Bates College, where he coached for four seasons.[2] His Division I career began at Boston College in 1991, however, following his years at Bates. He also spent two separate stints as an assistant coach for the Ohio State men's team (1998-2000 & 2003-04).[2] According to sportsparenting.org, "At both Ohio State and Boston College, Boyages was a part of amazing one-season turnarounds. At Boston College he helped turn the Eagles around from a 9-19 team in 1995 to a 19-11 team that went to the NCAA tournament in 1996. Then with Ohio State, he had a part in turning the Buckeyes from an 8-21 season to a 27-9 mark and a berth in the Final Four in 1999, the fourth-best single-season improvement in Division I history. In his career, Boyages has coached 15 NCAA tournament games in five appearances, including making the Final Four once and the elite eight twice. In each NCAA showing, his team has never failed to win its first-round game. In addition, his teams have won Big East and Big Ten tournament championships."[2]
