Chad Boudreau has finished his seventh season as an assistant coach at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. In Milwaukee, Boudreau is a part of all activities in the basketball program, including recruiting and on-court coaching.

"Rob Jeter is what made this job something I jumped at," Boudreau said. "I have a lot of respect for what he has done as both a player and a coach and have gotten to know him very well over the years. Plus, having recruited extensively in and around Milwaukee, I knew this was an area my family would be very happy in. It is nice to see how the school has developed and moved into the national spotlight and it has been very exciting to be a part of it."

Boudreau had worked for six years as an assistant coach at Indian Hills Community College, helping the school to three National Junior College Athletic Association #1 rankings and to the NJCAA Final Four.

"Chad's recruiting abilities and contacts throughout the country have been a valuable resource for the program," Jeter said. "Plus, with his six years in the junior college ranks, he has been able to use those connections to help us fill special needs in recruiting. Chad also has a great personality and people enjoy being around him, which helps him build a tremendous relationship with the players. I remain very happy he was willing to join us and he has been a very valuable piece of our staff here in Milwaukee."

Boudreau's wide-ranging recruiting contacts have been very important during his time in Milwaukee, with UWM looking to restock its roster. In the process, the Panthers have attracted players from throughout Wisconsin and across the Midwest, establishing a wide recruiting base.

At Indian Hills, he helped 22 players earn NCAA Division I scholarships, including two first-team NJCAA All-Americans and two NBA draft picks. While Boudreau was an assistant at Indian Hills, the men's basketball team posted some stellar seasons. In all, the team won 77 percent of its games while Boudreau was at the school, posting a 154-46 record. Every season had its highlights, including the 2000 campaign when Indian Hills finished fourth at the national junior college tournament. The team went 29-6 in 2001-02, going undefeated in conference play while finishing the season ranked 10th in the nation in the NJCAA ranks. In 2002-03, Indian Hills won 25 more games before posting a 22-win season in 2003-04.

Boudreau had a wide range of responsibilities in the well-respected program, including recruiting, scheduling, strength and conditioning, academic monitoring, individual skill development and marketing. He also held duties away from the basketball court at Indian Hills, serving as a marketing and recruiting counselor.

Prior to his time at Indian Hills, Boudreau was a graduate assistant coach for the women's basketball team at Hannibal-LaGrange College in Missouri and spent two years as an assistant varsity and head freshmen girls basketball coach at Anita High School in Iowa. He also played for two seasons at Hannibal-LaGrange after earning all-state recognition three times at Harmony High School in Iowa.

Boudreau's wife, Stacy, is the head coach of the highly-successful women's volleyball program at UW-Whitewater. The couple has three children, Quincy, Carly and Cason.
