In 2007-08, Bokosky became Chapman's all-time winningest coach - a history that spans nearly 90 years. He followed that up the next year by leading the Panthers to a 24-3 record and the most victories in a season in 49 years. The Panthers went on to win their fourth consecutive Division III Independents West Region championship.

"Bo" has guided Chapman to four straight 20-win seasons and 16 consecutive winning seasons. And he enters the 2009-10 season just five wins shy of 300 for his career. Bokosky is also in his eighth year serving as an Assistant Athletic Director at Chapman.

Prior to Chapman, Bokosky served as an assistant coach in the Big West at Cal State Fullerton and U.C. Irvine where he recruited and coached future NBA players Scott Brooks, Tom Tolbert, Bruce Bowan, Bob Thornton and Johnny Rogers.

A native of Orange County, Bokosky graduated from Santa Ana Valley High and played at Riverside and Saddleback Community Colleges before transferring to Fort Lewis College in Colorado where he received his bachelor’s degree in history in 1978. Bokosky then earned his master’s degree in education from Cal State Los Angeles in 1983. He and his wife, Neddie, currently reside in Orange with their two daughters, Tara and Karly.
